I would not allow drawing a weapon free action or not at anything >= 2x move. I've attempted it, and I am well trained. On a mount as part of a charge, sure I'd allow that. But not when you are the one running or charging, no.Coredump said:5) Charge is *not* a normal move, it is a full round action, you do not get to draw during it.
9a)It is an easy interpretation that readying a shield would also be allowed via quickdraw.
9b) Readying a shield is allowed with the move in any case.
21) Quickdraw can be used with items other than weapons, such as wands.. or potions.
I'll just italicize the rest...
26) be able to switch between multiple weapons
Where multiple==2, sure. Since you only get one free action/round you don't get to quick draw multiple weapons in a round. Nor would you get to quickdraw attack quicksheathe. One per round? you say! Yes. Technically RAW says "while taking another action normally". It isn't one then another. A free action is not a standalone action. At most I'd allow 2 free actions provided each was taken *during* another action. And since you don't get more than two (normally), that is it. A few free action such as talking (provided it takes 6 seconds or less) can be done while other "free actions" are done. For example, one could move to engage, draw a weapon, and talk at the same time. Drawing multiple times for throwing multiple weapons is considered part of the full attack and is specifically called out in RAW.
27) Run and pull a weapon
See above.
28) withdraw and pull a weapon
Doesn't need quickdraw.
29) There was another one but now I can't remember... damn.
Then it shouldn't be numbered.

Contrived?? You talk about evil DR 5 creatures, against a specific weapon, and call a list of 25 examples contrived? I mention everything from wands to horses,
Ok, who said anything about quickdrawing a horse?!?!


NOw, your wand mus tbe places in a sheath for quick drawing of it. No sticking it in the pack or pouch and getting it out as a free action.

to picking up items
Not using quickdraw. Last I looked quick draw does not apply to picking things up.
Now as to the notion that you have to pay attention to what you are doing when sheating a weapon, no not always. Not if you've done it enough or been trained. If you have the dexterity and know where the sheathe is (and it helps if it is s well designed one

As for ready shield during move, yes per RAW if your BAB is >=1, no interp needed.

As for standing then drawing, no need for QD here either. Draw as you stand.
Now I'm not arguing QD is underpowered, just trying to "ocrrect" some misunderstanding as I see them.
