[QUOTE="Keith, post: 1466090, member: 10752"] I don’t think you can draw an arrow when it is not your turn to act. Nor could you take an AOO by doing so, since prior to holding the arrow, you did not threaten, so did not GET an AOO. An archer who fired on their last turn emptied that hand, and will get a chance to fill it again when it is their turn and IF they make a ranged attack. While you could try and argue that an archer who did not attack has an arrow in their hand anyway, unless this was specifically referred to prior to the encounter, I would assume instead that they did not bother to carry around something they can draw and use so quickly. Legolas-wise, I recall him drawing an arrow and using it to attack- fair enough. An archer who did that on their turn just used their first attack to do that, and can proceed from there. I would not think it is a good idea to invent, in effect, a whole new type of AOO for archers, who are clearly not intended to get them. [/QUOTE]
