Bandolier limits?


Rules Discussion


Is there any limit to the number of Bandoleirs you can make use of. I realize there is a Claus about limitations based on what the GM feels is reasonable (for all items). However I'm curious if your intended to only be able to make use of one of this nice quick access spots (since it mentions putting on your chest, not sure if it's the same as a Worn item slot, or if those are exclusive to magic items.) Or if you can go full on Adventurer and have a dozen, belts pockets, and straps of quickly accessible goodies.

As far as I can tell, it's limited by how much gold you have and can spend on them. Past that, if you wear a "vast amount" of them, they are L bulk. So if you think they are fashionable, go for it and buy 50, go wild. ;)


No stated limit when I was trying to find them earlier this week (alch kit, bombs, shuriken, alch tools).

If it helps any, in real life I've had 2+a messanger bag+a slung rifle before without anyreal annoyances on mobility.

By RAW, there are no explicit limits to the number of bandoliers a character can wear.

As a practical limit, based on being able to distribute them on a character's body without having them get in the way of each other or the character's mobility, I'd recommend four: two crossed from shoulder to opposite waist and two crossed from hip to opposite upper thigh (technically belts, but close enough). Basically, Medieval web gear.

Batman comcis have pretty great examples of multiple chest bandoliers.

I forget which character it was. They had suspenders that worked like bandoliers, and two that crossed their chest. and all were bolted together in the overlapped spots so they wouldn't get ungangly movement.

My leather armor is just 50 bandoliers sewn together: loops everywhere!


What is peak bandolier? A combat medic alchemist could have two for alchemy/healing kit, and two for potions.

But sure peak bandolier is more impressive.

The only limit is your imagination
