Question on pricing on Darts

[Elric200]

If I wanted to buy magic darts do I pay for each magic dart or do I get a quantity since they are destroyed when used?

[Dr. Frank Funkelstein]

Why would it be destroyed?
If you don't want to individually enchant throwing items you can use a Thrower's Bandolier

The dart hits a shield sticks in the shield and bends down to impede the use of the shield. Thanks for the idea of the throwers bandolier I'll use it.

That's not how Pathfinder darts work; they are not "ammunition", which is single use, but thrown weapons (think knives) which can be gathered up and reused.

As an aside, I THINK that you're taking your idea of the darts from the Roman pilum, they're actually plumbata.

Unless you are using an Atlatl. At which point it becomes a lot less clear on that.

Or a Thunder Sling.

Note that nothing in the PF2 rules let you "impede" shields usage with darts. If there is in your game, that's homebrew, and thus will need GM adjucation to decide if the subject of your question should be homebrewed too. But yeah, that do change the implications behind your question.

I was speaking IRL how the Plumbata worked not in Pathfinder rules.

Ok. I was confused, because you posted in the Pathfinder2 rules forum, not the roman history section.
