Fletcher's Delight

Bows, Arrows, Bolts, Braces and Quivers.

• Murometz •

My father, Nelorts Ledatic (Neh-lort-us Led-atich), was the world's greatest fletcher.

Aye, I know this will cause eye-rolling derision and doubt in the reader, for it is I, Joachim Ledatic, Son of the Arrowsmith, that scribes these words now.

Alas, my love for the man and his work, may indeed seem subjective and biased, but I feel an overwhelming calling, for having myself failed at my chosen life's path, that of a sell-sword, at least i can in my waning years, catalogue and document my sire's truer and purer profession.

My father made the finest crafted arrows, quivers, and bows this world has ever seen. But he was a man of great superstition, and feared magic. Feared, but respected it. And so I have dug up his detailed compilation of researched magical tools of the fletcher's craft, his exhaustive lists, notes, and descriptions of legendary items and peculiar arcana. Arrows, bows, bolts and quivers, and braces. I hope in this manner, I can make the man immortal.

Included is my father's treatise on his craft, entitled simply, Longbows. Required reading for all aspiring fletchers and bowyers.

no need to vote, just a compilation. Looking for more subs. Please attach if you find any i missed.

I like compilation and they never get much love. So take some love.

Useful Codex. Add 'Bracers' to the list of acceptable items as well. It really hurts when you don't wear them and you suck at using a bow. Its amazing how many colors your arm will turn.

More love for this collection! And more submissions as well!

“ Hu was an ambassador of the Seventh Emperor of the Reng Dynasty. Throughout his life he traveled across many miles and lands to entreaty with neighboring kingdoms and the semi-savages who dwelled amidst the Metal Mountains. During one such diplomatic mission, Hu was gifted a small iron marble as a gesture, by a shaman of the Kiy-Kiy tribe. Little else is known of Hu, but that marble was lost and is now somewhere out there for someone to find. A tiny, shiny sphere, the marble has several properties. First and foremost it is a strong magnet, considerably stronger than its size and density would indicate. Secondly, if thrown or rolled upon the ground and the command word is spoken, the iron ball will magically enlarge to either the size of an ogres's head or to that of a great globe, twelve feet in diameter. The rolling ball of either size will continue to roll or fly at the same relative speed it was when launched as a marble, and can thus cause great damage to anything in its path. The magnetic power of the ball will also magnify when enlarged. Legends claim that the ball has been tossed from besieged castles upon attacking foes and rolled at marching armies in ages past. At the end of such rolls, the larger size globe has been known to not only crush soldiers underfoot, but to also 'collect' many dozens of metallic weapons and bits of armor unto itself, appearing as an armored sphere, with swords and spears sticking out from it in all directions. Owning this powerful marble has its drawbacks. Anyone carrying it on their person, will experience the iron ball's insidious effects after some time. The owner feels no worse for wear, but after two month's time they will suddenly awaken one morning to find that their hair has fallen out completely, their teeth loosened like baby's teeth ready to drop, and their fingernails simply shriveled and sliding off the fingers and toes. Perhaps unbeknownst to the owner at first, the iron ball also renders an owner sterile or barren by this time. Regular clerical healing will not reverse this horrible malady. Only finding and beseeching a shaman of the Kiy-Kiy tribe to heal the iron ball's effects with their particular brand of magic, will work. Hu's Iron Ball should be handled carefully by players and gms.”

“ On the road up Dethl Mountain, you will encounter the guardian, Rustus, a goron Pyro Mage. only those who can take the heat will withstand him. to defeat him, one must use a goron's worst enemy: water”

“ What if the sources of precious metal in the realm all failed, so that the only sources for gold and other precious metal were hostile foreign lands? Gold coinage might become increasingly rare, resulting in hoarding. Player characters that appear with masses of treasure might be suspected of being in the pay of foreign powers.”
