Heward's Haversack capacity

[Conaill]

Huh?

You can pull out an item as a free aciotn but what if its a wepaon it slips aorund in your hand until it becomes a move equivlent aciotn unless you have quick draw? I don't get it. I'm not doubting you I just don't get the logic.

Keep in mind you can't put anything *sharp* in the MMM at risk of puncturing it. So if you pull a sword out of it, it'll be in it's sheath, and you still need to use a MEA to actually "draw" it.

I'd let you get away with "quickdrawing" blunt weapons though...

What about a cross-bow?

How does one adjudicate cubic feet anyway? Cross-bow = 2? Is there a reference/guideline/formula somewhere, or do dms just wing it as usual?

Is it possible to have a Hewards Handy Rucksack?

Virtully the same item, but instead of being a backpack, it'd hang by your side.

I'm just asking because I plan on selecting this magic item for a character of mine, and I think a rucksack would just look cooler.

If I were DM in that case, I wouldn't sweat the way the straps were connected. I'd let a PC have a HHR instead

My Kobold Wizard (strength 4) pretty much lives out of his Hewards Handy Satchel (side hanging model). It's the perfect scroll and trinket organizer!

With regards to drawing weapons, I aways call it a move-equivalent when I prepare my crossbow. Sure you can get it into your hands for free, but it's probably upside down or backwards.

As for what all can fit space-wise, if the mouth of the sack is 8 inches by 18 inches, then the space would be 8 feet deep (luckily, whatever you need is right on top . In my mind, I picture it more like a 1x2x4 foot cabinet (plus the smaller side areas).

ARE YOU INSANE?! If you let them have a Hewards Handy Rucksack, you totally ruin the alliteration of the Hewards Handy Haversack! Heward did not spend his career exploring the magical aplications of extra-dimensional spaces and the storage capabilities thereof to just have some upstart young wizard come along and turn his Haversack into a Rucksack!

Now if he wants a Rel's Ready Rucksack, that's a different matter. You could even have a Rel's Ready Beltpouch if you wanted. Or a Rel's Dandy Backpack.

I'm a lot more laid back about this sort of thing than Heward.



I need more sleep.

Always avoid alliteration.

According to m-w.com, a haversack is "a bag similar to a knapsack but worn over one shoulder." So the HHH already hangs by your side.

It says a rucksack goes across your back, which is just what you don't want.

Aren't synonyms fun?

Thanks so much, AuraSeer!

Now I know what a Haversack is!
