[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 1631727, member: 16936"] ^^^^Is putting a weapon away normally a standard or full action? Weird, I would've guessed it was move-equivalent. Yeah. Certainly the description in Kahuna Burger's question makes this sound like something almost completely innocuous; he's just switching from a melee weapon to a ranged weapon. Compared to some other feats, Quick Draw's usefulness is fairly limited anyway, and all the PC gains from this more-lenient interpretation is the chance to do a full ranged attack right away without having to drop his sword on the ground. I agree, that doesn't seem too gamebreaking, nor does it seem like an issue that would come up often enough to be worth making a fuss over. But then, I've never read Oriental Adventures, either. It's possible that iajitsu focus (whatever the hell that is) makes it less reasonable and more unbalancing to allow Quick Draw to also work in reverse, as it were. It's the kind of ruling you'd have to make on a campaign-by-campaign basis, I think; if it's a campaign setting with some exceptionally nifty powers that just work incredibly well when combined with Quick Draw, it may tip the scales towards saying "no, sorry, putting the sharp thing back in its sheath takes a move action." -- or a standard or full action, whatever the actual rule is ryan [/QUOTE]
