[QUOTE="Zhure, post: 43341, member: 308"] HAH! That'll teach me to not carefully read the original question. Yup, there's no differentiation in 3e over arrows for different bows. Before the player mysteriously vanished, we had an Fighter/OoBI who could deal out 4 arrows per round at a relatively low level. I think we were about 7th at the time. We got stranded in some vast underdark cavern with no more arrows for easy purchase and after about two days of intermittent combats, the Fighter3/Barbarian3/Wiz1 and the Sorcerer8 were using all their cantrips on Mend to repair 8 or so arrows a day to keep him in two rounds of sustained fire's worth of ammunition. After that adventure the OoBI was paranoid about his ammo and kept two Quivers of Ehlonna, plus a small bag of holding full of barrels stuffed with arrows. He kept something like 400 arrows around. While it seemed like overkill, he could pump out that many in ten minutes of sustained combat. Useless pedantic side note: Contrasting this to history, the ancient Mongolians used to keep 300 arrows on their mounts and 100 on their person. The English longbowen of yore typically only carried a dozen. -- Post-count building Greg [/QUOTE]
