[QUOTE="KibblesTasty, post: 9431818, member: 6988658"] It's because I don't think you can draw a shield as part of the Attack action like a weapon. That only covers weapons, not drawing or sheathing anything at all "You can either equip or unequip [B]one weapon[/B] when make an attack as part of this action" This means that you still need your object interaction to equip or unequip the shield, which only have one of. So you end up attacking, using your object interaction to equip the shield. Then the next turn you have to use your object interaction unequip the shield before attacking, and you don't have it at the end of your to re-equip the shield. I actually find it more annoying then having the shield every turn, because it means you have to keep track of your AC going up and down by 2 constantly, but mileage will vary (and most people will just say 'don't do that!' which is fine, I'm just talking about things that are probably errors with the rules).
