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 ranged attack, and this would give me a more versatile option. The character's fighting style as I'm playing it really revolves around spears, so it would fit better than daggers anyway--best of both worlds!One of my first level feats (I'm human) was for a multiclass rogue, but I'm not seeing much use for it because those powers require a light blade or sling, meaning I'd have to switch in battle anyway. I could retrain that at level 2 for quick draw and still pick up vampiric heritage. I'll have to look at the brawler powers; is there a utility I could find that grabs? Retraining an at will would be preferable, though. If i were to retrain that instead, as you mention, I'd have to take my hand off the spear (minor action), meaning I can't use it...which means I'd be basically using the brawler at will with an unarmed strike, yes?So, picking up the quick draw feat, vampiric heritage feat, and a brawling at will seems like a formidable combination, but would have to wait another level at least. Until then, it looks like using an action point each time I use blood drain is the best...or waiting a turn and hoping they don't escape the grab. (Which I could actually explain in character; she hates that this has happened to her, and probably doesn't like using a power that requires her to drink an enemy's blood...but that kind of internal conflict is a roleplaying goldmine!)Speaking of roleplaying, here's a thought to explain the quick draw/shorter spear idea: what if the longspear I use can be divided in two, so I can use the bottom end as a shorter spear (think dagger hidden in the pommel of a sword). Does that work?</blockquote>
