Yes, you can port Screaming Bolts and +2 Flaming Bolts from D&D 3.5e to 5e, but you’ll need to adapt them to 5e’s streamlined mechanics and item economy. Below are 5e-compatible versions of each:
🔊 Screaming Bolt (5e Conversion)
This magic bolt emits a terrifying scream when fired, unsettling its target.
When you make a ranged attack with this bolt and it hits, the target must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until the end of your next turn.
The bolt emits a loud, eerie scream audible within 300 feet upon release.
The bolt is magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity.
Once fired, the bolt loses its magic.
In 3.5e, it forced a Will save vs. fear when it hit. In 5e, the "frightened" condition is the natural equivalent, and DC 15 aligns with rare magic items and is usable at mid-tier levels.
🔥 +2 Flaming Bolt (5e Conversion)
Weapon (bolt), rare
This magic bolt grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
On a hit, the bolt deals an additional 1d6 fire damage.
The bolt is magical.
Single use — after it is fired, it loses its enchantment.
Optional: If you want to keep things simpler in line with typical 5e ammo like +1 ammunition, you might tone this down to just:
+1 to hit and damage
+1d6 fire damage
Classified as uncommon
But if you're porting straight from 3.5e, +2 is fair, as long as it stays single-use and rare.
