[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 7543072, member: 55816"] Long story short: I'm making a kensai monk that uses daggers and darts (flavored as throwing knives) as his kensai weapons. I know what I'm doing, it is partially a joke (that is it amuses me quite a bit) but mostly its the most interesting way I found to make the daggers only fighter character I wanted that wasn't a rogue. Now other than cost and weight, darts are apparently strictly worse than daggers as far as I can tell, darts are not light and the are not melee weapons, otherwise the game statistics are the same. However darts are ranged weapons. The question is this: Does the fact that dart are ranged weapons mean that they can be drawn as part of the attack (like how an arrow can be drawn for a bow multiple times a round, but crossbows can't because they have a particular property)? With daggers you need an "object interaction" to draw, so if you're throwing two daggers using your extra attack feature with your main hand you need one in your hand to throw, object interaction to draw the second, then 2nd attack. then your next turn you can't make both attacks a thrown weapon, because you don't have enough object interactions to draw two daggers ([B]The two weapon feat lets you draw two weapons, I know this, but it doesn't help me make two thrown attack with my main hand, it would only let me throw one with my main had and one as a bonus action with my off hand and also I'm not using that feat because reasons)[/B] Does the fact that darts are ranged weapons mean that I can have my hands empty and draw a dart for each attack, which I feel is an actual property of ranged weapons, or am I misremembering how ranged weapons work?
