This is an e-mail I recently sent to Grunthos (from the Quick Draw
thread, where I have apparently degenerated to doing MSB
impersonations). Do you think these prices are in line with these items?
* * * * *
Not sure if you've been following the "Quick Draw" thread or not, but I
had a few ideas.
1. "Improved Returning": This could be a +2 equivalent ability
(additional +1 if grafted onto a weapon that already has Returning). It
works like Returning but the weapon comes back immediately and can be
used over and over in the same round. You'd need two of these (+1
Improved Returning, equivalent to +3 weapons) to throw two daggers per
attack over and over again, forever.
2. "Bandolier of Catching": This item can hold 12 daggers and
automatically catches your daggers with the Returning quality for you
instead of you having to catch them in your hand. It would be a fairly
cheap item, maybe 1500 gp.
3. "Bandolier of Infinite Daggers": This item can hold 12 daggers, and
any slots that are empty at the end of a given round are instantly
filled with ordinary daggers. These daggers are created by magic but
have no magical qualities themselves. They disappear one round after
being drawn. Another relatively cheap item, maybe 2500 gp.
You could even combine 2 and 3 for 4000 gp if you like.

Bear in mind that #3 means the character will always have a melee weapon
in reach, and a character with Quick Draw can never effectively be disarmed.
Which of the preceding would YOU choose for your dagger throwing PC, and
why?
