    A question about grab/other mechanics

    Ah, I hadn't thought of that. That makes it even more economical, and maybe I can find something useful to do with the extra minor action. As for the cost, you're right; it wastes the 'second chance to hit' idea of an action point, and seems selfish--as in I'm not using it for the party's...

    A question about grab/other mechanics

    Thanks, everyone, for your help! The rules for 4e seem pretty straight forward at first, but once you really get into them, they get complicated...it's a lot to wrap my head around! I think everyone's suggestion to talk with my DM is the way to go. Here's the deal: when we started this...

    A question about grab/other mechanics

    Hmm...I like the idea of picking up a shorter spear/trident and switching with quick draw. Just to clarify, quick draw allows me to switch weapons as part of the attack action (i.e. not using a minor action first)? A trident would be cool; I actually just bought a few daggers so I'd have a...

    A question about grab/other mechanics

    Hello1 Please bear with me, as I'm completely new to D&D (a total of 3 sessions under my belt, plus lots of reading), so I may be missing something simple here. My character is a first level fighter who uses a longspear. Her background: she was once part of a group of vampire slayers, and very...
