How many arrows is an archer expected to fire by the end of the Tyranny of Dragons pair of adventures?

$begingroup$


Tyranny of Dragons spans two supplements:




  • Hoard of the Dragon Queen

  • Rise of Tiamat


If an archer was expected to buy all of their arrows up front, what is a reasonable estimate of how many arrows they would need throughout the coarse of a full Tyranny of Dragons campaign?



Assume that we are not using the 50% arrow recovery rule and are instead using 0% arrow recovery.

Very, very approximately: 3,000 $pm $ 1,000



This would cost 150gp and weigh 150 lb.



Assuming:




  • the PCs start at level 1 and finish with just enough XP to get to level 16

  • the number of encounters per level is as per my answer to Why does the experience-to-next-level not change between some levels?

  • The archer uses their bow for 4 rounds in each combat

  • The archer always uses the bow even though there are encounters in the adventure where ranged attacks will be at disadvantage because the player will be in melee due to constrained battlefields

  • The archer gets Extra Attack as a fighter

  • All arrows are lost


Then:



enter image description here



Now, the 357 encounters is possibly on the high side but if you do all the side-quests and have a lot of random encounters, I can see you getting there.

    Well, you can probably figure a normal fight runs five to seven turns, and a big fight or boss battle might run twice that long. So multiply by the number of fights in the modules and the number of shots per turn, and you should be able to approximate it from there.



    But there isn't a fixed number of fights in those modules. It depends on how your skills roll out, how long you take, what you choose to do, and a lot of other things. I don't think it's possible to even vaguely approximate how many combat-rounds there might be across both modules.

Laŭ la helena mitologio, Tantalo (el la greka Τάνταλος , ŝancelanta aŭ tre malfeliĉa ) estis filo de Zeŭso kaj la oceanidino Pluto, laŭ la plej divastigata versio. Li estis reĝo de Frigio [1] aŭ de la monto Sipilo, en Lidio (Malgrandazio) [2] kaj post sia morto li suferis eternan torturadon ĉe la Tartaro, la plej profunda parto de Hadeso, rezervita por la plej perversaj homoj. Tamen, kelkaj rakontoj asertas ke li estis reĝo de Argo aŭ de Korinto [3] , aŭ ke li migris norden el la monto Sipilo por akiri la tronon de Paflagonio, el kie Ilo forpelis lin pro tio, ke Tantalo forkaptis kaj seksperfortis lian fraton Ganimedon [4] , kaj tiel ofendis la diojn. Verŝajne li ankaŭ regis urbon en okcidenta Anatolio, kiun oni nomis Tantalis [5] pro li, aŭ Sipilo , pro la monto sur kies flanko ankoraŭ staras ĝiaj ruinaĵoj [6] . Laŭ la geografiisto Strabo,
