[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3367597, member: 18701"] Of course not. Maybe I wasn't clear. I would be glad for any player to use crafting rules. I think it would be cool if she was making her own arrows. I've already told her that I'll figure out how many arrows she could make at the end of a day of adventuring (I wasn't sure how it worked). It's just the fact that they do these little things in order to continue using a tweaked out character without any side effects. Like I said, she uses way more arrows than an average players archer would because she can shoot arrows in melee combat rather than switching to her sword. I've never seen her use a melee weapon. It's not that she's using her bow 24/7 that bothers me, it's that she complains that she can "only" carry 60 arrows at once and rather than think about conserving her arrow use, they think up ways to always be stocked on arrows since a magical quiver of 60 arrows just isn't enough. Is that something I should suck up & deal with or do I have a legitimate right to be annoyed about players doing that? It's just arrows afterall, but it's the player mindset that bothers me. A magical quiver of 60 arrows isn't even good enough for a tweaked out character :\ To me I'm thinking, "Cool, you can be amazing with a bow but your downside is that you need to pick your fights with it." But to them it's, "Cool, I can be amazing with my bow and I have a downside (limited ammo)...so I'm going to figure out how to be amazing with a bow with no downside". [/QUOTE]
