Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General What determines special arrow damage?

I believe special arrows scale as a % of your normal damage.
Dexterity does not affect your damage with bows. Your damage is determined by the bow you're using, +10% damage for every rank of Bow Skill.
Dexterity only affects what bows you can equip, and your chance of hitting with Bows (Perception can also be important for chance to hit with bows).
Special arrows don't do very much damage, period. You use them for their effects.

I'm not sure if special arrows' % chance of inflicting status improves with Dexterity. I do not believe so, but not certain.
