[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8694518, member: 93670"] Reaction spells are a thing, you attacked on your turn and don't get to suddenly free up a hand to cast because you want to cast shield or whatever. [b] The gm in this case already said that it's not allowed.[/b] The gm doesn't need to rules lawyer anything and it should have ended the moment the gm said its not possible. "rulings not rules" & "natural language" is the source of this problem. As to my thoughts on how bows work.. In a word I'd say "poorly". The quiver allows arrows to be drawn as part of each shot but 5e got rid of slots & didn’t really finish container rules. Now the gm needs to homebrew things like "you can only wear one quiver not two or three or five". Citing 3.5 doesn't work because this isn't about 3.5. The rules in 3.5 didn't need stuff to limit casting spells while holding a weapon because the act of casting nearly all spells provoked an AoO. 5e got rid of that and replaced it with some murky wording on free hand requirements.
