WIP Magic Items - Trick Arrows & Sorcerer Spell Recovery

[Jacob Gandy]

Hi Everyone,

Was hoping I could get some feedback on two WIP magic items I created. The first is intended for a wild mage sorcerer to mimic the wizard's arcane recovery. This could be used in theory as a homebrew class feature instead of a magic item if balance issues are addressed.

The second was created for a ranger PC who requested comics-style trick arrows. I created a quiver that generates a d20 worth of different arrow types. The player in question specifically requested that what arrow he receives be a surprise, so its designed to force the character to actually fire it off before the effect is known. A variation could generate fewer arrows per day, which would be visible in the quiver and could be fired at will.

Balance suggestions, language clarifications etc are appreciated.

I like them. Fun items.

I'd recommend limiting the chaos cube to one successful use per long rest, as per the similar wizard/druid features

I'll probably err in favor of 1/long rest, but I'm not sure how unbalanced the cube is in its current form since I usually only give 1-2 short rests per day. So, should be a 25% chance of no recovery, 50% chance of equaling the (guaranteed) arcane/natural recovery features, and 25% chance of getting 4 slots back.

As it stands now, theres nothing saying wizards/druids can't use it in addition to the built-in recovery options.

Also, what I meant with the 1/long rest is theres no restriction on how many times you can use it, but you can only recover slots once per long rest.

I did specify sorcerer level, but you're right. Changed to 1 activation/long rest to reduce multiclass shenanigans.
