When will this be available to add to

character sheets?

IamSposta Posted Feb 16, 2020

When will this be available to copy for

homebrew?!? I hate having to just rename
basic ammo under “custom” in the
character sheet without the rest of the info.

SeguiveSiyu Posted Mar 21, 2020

Price?

PhantomTim Posted May 13, 2020

It isn't possible to add categories of items

to your character sheet (you have to add a
speciPc type of +1 ammunition, such as a
+1 crossbow bolt), and the same goes for
making homebrew magic items. This also
applies to the large number of sword types,
so for instance you can make a copy of a
scimitar of vengeance (or add one to your
character sheet), but not of a generic
sword of vengeance.

This is just from my Homebrew setting, but

since a normal set of normal arrows costs
1 Gold per 20, so 5 copper per arrow, I said
that a +1 arrow would cost like 10 times as
much, so 10 +1 arrows in my setting cost 5
gold, since they are one time Use i think
thats a fair price, I also dont make them
one time use exactly, you can do an
investigation check in my game after battle
to Pnd up to 50% of the arrows you used.
(Note, they are not magical in my setting,
only armor piercing)

Price?

Xanathar's Guide to Everything has a table

of suggested prices based on rarity. The
suggested price for an Uncommon magic
item is 1d6 x 100 gp. It also speciPes that
consumable items, such as potions, have
their costs halved. I'd consider this a
consumable item for that purpose.

I would also probably lower the price

further since... it's just ammunition. Maybe
have them being sold in bundles of 5 for
250 gp or something.

GWP Posted Aug 18, 2021

I wonder if considering the intrinsic value

makes sense here. Given a healing potion
is 50 gp. Does it make sense to say a single
arrow that does only one magical attack
before losing its magic is equal to the value
of a healing potion? I would say errrr...
probably not. so if you accept that, then
dePnitely greater then 1 GP per ammo, but
probably less then 50 gp per ammo.

thoughts?

If you wanna take into consideration old 3.5

rules for masterwork quality
weapons/ammo... maybe use that as a
guide?

MASTERWORK WEAPONS
A masterwork weapon is a Pnely crafted
version of a normal
weapon. Wielding it provides a +1
enhancement bonus on attack
rolls.
You can’t add the masterwork quality to a
weapon after it is created;
it must be crafted as a masterwork weapon
(see the Craft skill,
page 70). The masterwork quality adds 300
gp to the cost of a normal
weapon (or 6 gp to the cost of a single unit
of ammunition, such as
an arrow). For example, a masterwork
bastard sword costs 335 gp,
while a set of 10 masterwork arrows costs
70 gp.

Does the to hit/damage of this ammo

stack with the to hit/damage of a magic
weapon used to launch it?

Do they not have this for Prearms? Trying

Price?

In my research, I've seen 2 things; 101-500

Gold Pieces, or 50-250 Gold. You can also
determine it randomly using dice (like
d100s) or use other dice for Buyers (see
page 130 of the DM's Guide) I personally
(for my campaigns) would for around 150
gold pieces, but price is up to you/your GM.

how are these still not in the magic item

listings for DnD beyond character sheets?
