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.I'll just italicize the rest...26) be able to switch between multiple weaponsWhere 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 weaponSee above.28) withdraw and pull a weaponDoesn't need quickdraw.29) There was another one but now I can't remember... damn.Then it shouldn't be numbered. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> 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?!?! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Not in my campaign. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />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. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Same for potions - they aren't weapons as used by QD.to picking up itemsNot 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 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) you can do it without much thought at all. I would insist on a feat for it though, more so than qucikdraw. It is much more difficult. I'd probably assign BAB and DEX minimums, as well as QuickDraw as prereq.As for ready shield during move, yes per RAW if your BAB is >=1, no interp needed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />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. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
