It costs somewhere around 6,500 gp (that is not it's exact price, I've already said it myself, do not harp on me or my nonphotographic memory).
RikuKupo 04-16-07, 03:17 PM	Cool. How much does the MIC one cost? a +1 or whatever price?

Nephlite 04-18-07, 06:29 PM	:bump: :incog: +1 bonus. Holds 100 bolts in a extradimensional space that can be reloaded faster. Heavy=move action. Light=free action (so use multiple attacks if able). To add new bolts (if 100 selected run out or are loe) requires move action (1 for each bolt). So loading the extradimensional bolt holding space is time consuming. But while loaded it rocks.

bondious 04-20-07, 04:53 PM	I always thought that Quick Loading was a bit much at +2, so I'm glad they changed it to +1. My only thought is that the 100 bolt space is a little excessive, and would think that 20 or 30 sounds more reasonable...but it's no big deal. Now I wonder what "+ cost" would be to create a special ability that did the Quick Loading thing AND created either mundane "energy" bolts. Maybe a cost of +3 and the energy bolts are considered mundane bolts with posibly a force descriptor (able to hit incoporeal creatures), along with Quick Loading features. That'd be pretty cool. Maybe call it "Greater Quick Loading" or something.
