D&D 4E A humble 4e suggestion

[Hairfoot]

I could actually see a character wearing as many as two quivers. One slung on his back (opening towards shoulder of dominant hand) and one on his hip (same side as dominant hand). Those are the two traditional locations for a quiver to be carried, and a dedicated archer could manage both without too much trouble.

C&C deals with it thus: "A human-sized character should not be able to pack more than two Large Pouches and one Small Pouch on their belt with a Large Belt Pouch being equivalent to one Scabbard, one Quiver, two Small Pouches, or one Spell Component Pouch."

Maybe we're just thinking too hard about this, but on the other hand some of the coolest magic items ever are quivers/scabbards. There's the Quiver of Ehlonna, the scabbard of Excalibur (which prevented the wearer from losing blood), and the scabbard Galadriel gave Aragorn (which prevented Anduril from ever being broken again), among others.

Precisely. Among the first things I thought when it was first pointed out in this thread that swords come with scabbards was of Excalibur.

4e needs magic effects for containers beyond the handful of pre-packaged special containers (bags of holding, Heward's Haversack, Quiver of Ehlonna).

So pop quiz. If you need to make a masterwork quiver to enchant a quiver of Elohana how long does it take you? What does it cost?

That's a trick question. You don't need a masterwork quiver to make a quiver of what's-her-face. Just as you don't need a masterwork piece of paper to make a scroll, or a masterwork broom to make a flying broom.
