Change "quiver" slot to "pouch" slot

[Purr]

Right now we have a spot for "quivers" but this could just as easily be a "pouch" for mages to keep some kind of magic thing that gives eschew materials or a "scabbard" for melees to get some kind of boost.

Just like we now have orbs that take up a weapon slot (or how scrolls always did), there's no reason we can't just pretend that slot can hold a variety of weapon or spell containers.

There's not even a visual on the character that this would interfere with.

Dev's have already said that the scripting needed to remove mats from bags / pouches / fanny-packs wasn't feasible.

Good news! This isn't what it would do!

Instead, think of collolaries to the quiver of poison, such as:

Scabbard of the Green Dragon: All of your melee attacks deal an extra 1d6 poison

Pouch of Power: Your maximize metamagic feat costs 1 less per cast

Whatever they do, it is quite a shame that there is a gear slot that benefits only ranged builds and noone else

Good news! My solution would fix that problem!

Why is it that almost every suggestion is for yet more powercreep (usually combined with a nerf to some subset of builds)?

 

[Purr]

Good news! This isn't that. It's a way to utilize a slot for most people that's under utilized and give people greater flexibility. A scabbard that gives 5MP, for example, might give competion to someone currently using the 30% speed one. So not power creep, but a possible trade off.

Also, no nerfs needed to suggest this.

Same stated goal could be achieved using the existing slot, unless casters are trying to double dip for a secondary ranged weapon?

It sounded like you were asking for another slot

If you can move it to bank you could move it into another designation, this would be an excuse.
