[QUOTE="Felon, post: 3365932, member: 8158"] Honestly? The impression I'm getting from your post is that he doesn't [B]want[/B] to make his own arrows, but rather that your insistance that he account for every arrow he fires put him on the spot. He can either be loaded down with arrows, or craft them in the field, or just expect to run out and not be an archer until he can find some more. D&D's encumbrance table is pretty harsh, at least in respect to the weight they've assigned to some equipment. If DM's actually cracked down on this, a good many rogues and rangers would be crestfallen to discover they are not carrying the light load they think they are. D&D's designers provide the same patch they provide for most of life's harsh little realities: magic items. Characters are supposed to get bags of holding, handy haversacks, or--in the case of archers--efficient quivers. Then they tote around hundreds of pounds of junk in hammerspace. [/QUOTE]
