can someone more knowledgeable than me put the details of the dipping mechanism ? I think it cost a bonus action iirc, so potentially movement as well to get close to the source , duration is ? is it easy to set it up before a fight ?
Dipping cost a bonus action.
It doesn't really require anything else because you can have a torch or a candle in your inventory, let it fall on the ground for free, light it for free and dip for a bonus action.
It's a bit tedious and you have to remember to pick up your candle after dipping (for free), but that's how it work. Of course you can dip on any other fire sources if there is one.
You can do it outside of combats, but it's not really necessary because it really cost nothing more than a bonus action.
It last for 2 turns (nor 100% sure) and add 1D4 fire damages to all dipped weapons (even if you have 2 weapons, you dip both at the same time during the same bonus action)
