-A '''droven bolt''' is a type of [[weapon]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is a [[stackable]] [[projectile]] designed for use with [[droven crossbow]]s, and uses the [[crossbow]] [[skill]]. It has a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|default material]] of [[obsidian]], and appears as a "[[crossbow bolt]]" when [[Identification|unidentified]].

+Droven bolts are not randomly generated, though they can be [[wish]]ed for or found in [[bones]].
-Droven bolts are not randomly generated. [[Drow (starting race)#dNetHack|Drow]] [[hero]]es start with knowledge of droven plate mail, and drow [[Ranger]]s will receive a droven crossbow and bolts in place of the role's standard [[bow]] and [[arrow]]s.
-[[Drow matron]]s, [[drow matron-mother]]s, and [[yochlol]] generated in unearthly drow form are [[Monster starting inventory|always generated with]] a droven crossbow and a stack of 12-36 droven bolts. [[Y-cultist fighter]]s and other [[Drow (monster attribute)|drow]] that do not have a defined starting inventory have a {{frac|3}} chance of generating with a droven crossbow and a stack of 12-36 droven bolts. [[Drider (dNetHack)|Driders]] always generate with 10-30 droven bolts for their droven crossbow, as are [[deminymph]]s that are generated with a "Black Web" kit.
+[[dNetHack artifacts#Liecleaver|Liecleaver]] and [[dNetHack artifacts#Wrathful Spider|Wrathful Spider]] can be [[invoked]] to [[Create ammo|generate a small stack of droven bolts]]. A hero that has the [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] [[Eve]] bound and is wielding a droven crossbow can use "Thorns and Stones" to create some droven bolts at the cost of some [[HP]].
-Droven bolts generated in the inventory of drow monsters are always [[sleep]]-poisoned.
