07-12-04, 01:14 PM Would just like to check what is your stand on this.

In the Complete Warriors handbook, the cost of the Burrowing Arrow is currently 167 gp.

Though this may sound a little stupid, I would like to know if the other DMs outside would consider this as 1 arrow 167gp, or for a quiver. If a quiver, how many? The standard 20? Or is it 50 like the embueing of magical effects on the arrows in the Dungeon Masters Guide?

07-12-04, 01:49 PM I don't have my book here (I'm at work), so I can read the item. But if I had a guess, I'd say it's for one arrow. That's the precedent set in the DMG, anyway. See, for an example, the Sleep Arrow in the DMG.

07-12-04, 02:12 PM Standard weapon enhancements are applied in batches of 50.
Specialty magical arrows are priced per arrow.
Non-magical arrows are priced per 20, unless otherwise indicated.

If the burrowing arrow is magical, it is a specialty arrow, priced per arrow.

07-12-04, 03:29 PM Cost for a single flaming arrow that is +1 to hit and does +1d6 of fire damage (once activated):

8,300 gp / 50, 1 arrow costs 166, plus cost of arrow itself.

So ask your self, which is worth more, a burrowing arrow or a +1 flaming arrow.
