How does Hail of Thorns interact with with magic ammunition or enchantments.
For example with an arrow of slaying, acid arrow, and flame arrow spell?
Would the effects of these enchantments be replicated for all the other targets within Hail of Thorn's target area of effect?
Best Answer
No, it doesn't apply special ammunition effects to the area damage.
Hail of Thorns' description states that in addition to the normal effect of the attack the creature has to make a Dex save, taking 1d10 damage on a failure.
Arrow of Slaying says that a creature only takes the extra damage if it takes damage from the arrow.
The same applies to the others types of ammo. The extra damage from the Hail of Thorns spell doesn't count as damage from the arrow, but from a separate spell, that activates when the arrow hits; so the arrow's special effects don't apply to that damage.
