Fabricated Arbalest is one of the Heavy Crossbows in Baldur's Gate 3. Fabricated Arbalest is the heavy crossbow used by Enver Gortash. In BG3, each type of weapon has different ranges, damages, and other features (Finesse, Versatile, Dippable, etc.). Characters need to master certain Proficiency before using a weapon, and sometimes gain special Actions while holding it.
A perfect system must be ruled by a keen eye - and any error foolish enough to rear its head afore the eye must be quickly, precisely, and totally eliminated. This crossbow can help with that.

- There are two actions called Dazzling Ray listed on the Fabricated Arbalest item, but only the weapon action is given, not the class action.
- Dazzling Ray woks the same as Sunbeam, just with less damage and with a chance to damage the caster.
- Like many unique versions of spells given by weapons, it incorrectly states that you need to be proficient in the weapon to use the action, you don't. The weapon can be equipped by anyone and both Illuminating Shot.and Dazzling Ray work.

illuminating shot is a bonus action that deals very low damage but applies 1 turn of Radiating Orb. it doesn't have a cooldown! great for thieves wanting to do some supporting since Radiating Orb stacks

When you use the Dazling Ray you get a 10 round concentration effect that let's you recast it as an action
The weapon description for some reason shows a Class Action Dazzling Ray with 4-40 damage recharging Per Turn but you cannot use that version and only the 2-20 Once Per Short rest version shown under Proficiency
