[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5820353, member: 27897"] Sure you can do that. There's essentially zero gaming effect, so it doesn't really matter when that yell occurs. A quick check, of a few items, shows they tend to be "When X occurs, do Y as a free action." For example the Rousing Hammer says, "When you hit an enemy with this weapon (X), each ally you can see can stand up as a free action(Y)." Trigger and reaction. There is actually a limit on free actions; what the DM specifies, as stated in the combat section of PHB1. There are times when it's just silly, to give the requested free action. Swapping implements in order to obtain a second effect, after using a different implement to obtain an initial effect, is one of those times. To me, that hits the Bag o' Rats exception, head on. Additionally you can only use one free action attack power, per turn, if that effects the actions that the player wants to perform. [/QUOTE]
