[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4477464, member: 3087"] Yeah I somehow forgot that the Longspear was two handed.... :p With Divine Challenge shift and reach I'd imagined having a three square strike zone centered on me, so I could "pull" a striker hassling our back line*. But I think I need the shield for reflex (and AC too of course). *=We only have one defender, and I'm sensitive to the difficulty 1st level strikers and controllers have keeping themselves out of melee. Is it feasible to be "hot swapping" somehow? Quick draw lets you draw for free... So I could sheath another weapon as a minor, draw and attack. But I don't think that per RAW I can draw the shield the same way.... Without Quickdraw: I could start with the shield and spear and drop both (free) to draw the longspear (minor) move and attack but I wouldn't be able to challenge. So it would be draw + challenge or move without quick draw. I could pick up the items provided they were in my square or an adjacent square (or just carry around two shields and two spears)... so long as its the same mark I just need to keep engaging. Not sure if it's really going to make a big difference, I just have a very low chance to hit right now, so I was trying to leverage my assets. Divine Challenge works with a hit or a miss. [/QUOTE]
