[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 2652107, member: 2358"] Well I thought I was perfectly clear. Yet people give a bunch of weird examples. Should I also mention that, as far as I know, you can't Quick Draw more than once per the rules? I would apply the the same to Quick Sheathe. There is no possible abuse. As for a shield, they're all readied differently. Still, I would also think a person's shield is ALWAYS on if in a dangerous locale, and can just be hund from the arm. You're right that I've never used a shield, but I've used mock shields and they don't seem too difficult. As I said, I'm a katana wielder, meaning I don't use shields. I'm more into the oriental techniques than the European styles. Anyway, my point about what I can do is only to demonstrate that all people with even nomincal weapons ability should be able to effectively use Quick Draw without a feat, which means the feat is underpowered and kinda useless if you apply any sort of logic and reality to the situation. I know D&D is supposed to be fantasy, but putting abnormal limitations on characters as fantasy seems absurd to me. Oh, and you can't sheathe weapons that are close to as big or bigger than yourself (as a greatsword would be, and as all polearms would be). If a greatsword is sheathed, it's securely hooked up to your back across it, and in that case it would be a full-round action at best (realistically) to draw the dang thing. I've tried simulating drawing a greatsword with a wooden replica before, and it doesn't work. Yet I can basically Quick Draw any one-handed weapon there is within a split second. You know, having said that, there may be something worth exploring for the way two-handed weapons are stowed (for those that can be, which there are very few to be sure, and I still maintain none can be normally sheathed). In this case, a light weapon should always be quick draw capable regardless of skill due to wsize and weight. One-handed weapons should follow my proposed changes (draw for free during move or quick draw auto ay BAB +1 or higher, Quick Draw giving you Quick Sheathe). Two-handed weapons should probably follow the normal rules as written, though. To be realistic, that's actually how it works in real life I'd say. [/QUOTE]
