Quiver of Ehlonna...?

[AuraSeer]

The depth of a slot in a magic item shouldn't make any difference, especially in an item where you just think of the arrow you want and it appears in your hand.

That's one way to look at it. Another possibility is that the item's magic only works for items of the right size. The unseen servants who live in the javelin slot have javelin-sized hands, and they're too stupid to realize that the smaller arrows slip through their grasp.

Yet another option is that the quiver tries to be too smart. When you try to put arrows in the javelin slot, the quiver thinks you've made a mistake, and helpfully tries to shunt them into the arrow slow. But when it finds that compartment full, the extra arrows get spit out. (Hilarious "Ptui!" sound effects are optional. )

There's no single, obvious 'right' way to handle it, so it comes back to DM call.

From now on, all archers in my game have to wear golf pants.


Take that, archer munchkins!

the pants that Payne Stewart wore when golfing??? (rest his soul in valhalla)

Skullfyre,

What price does Traps and Treachery recommend for the Quiver of Infinite Arrows?

 

[Skullfyre]

Infinite quiver
Medium wonderous item
This item ,favoured by rogues,rangers and others who prefer to travel light,seems to be a well-made but otherwise unremarkable quiver. When an arrow or bolt(normal or masterwork,but not magical) is placed within it and the command word is spoken, the quiver becomes attuned to the item and will immediately create a new copy whenever the quiver is empty, provided the last such magically created item has been used. in other words, only one creation of the quiver may exist at any time; arrow or bolts it creates break or vanish after firing and can not be reused.

Caster level :7th
Prerequisites: Craft Wonderous Item,Craft Magic Arms and Armor, minor creation
Market Price 50,000 gp

That is the official writing of the quiver.

Ye gods... it's part of the Microsoft Archer XP Professional suite... a small bent piece of metal appears and says "You seem to be storring an arrow... do you want help with that?".

Thanks Skullfyre, but 50k!!!!!! Sheesh, guess my 8th level Dwarven archer can forget about that!!!

I think that you have it right AuraSeer.
The quiver does not recognize what you are doing and you can only put the 60 arrows in the quiver.

Thats it. The players in my game would not get anymore arrows in it.

True but if you know of a mage who can create it....
it is only half!!!

Alternate melee weapons for the quiver

Come to think of it, I'd probably put golf clubs in the javelin slot = "I'm thinking of the best club to hit a ball 140 yards."

A mage who uses golf clubs to launch his enchanted golf balls ..

that would be unique
