[QUOTE="Strider1973, post: 7542250, member: 6798760"] Hi everybody, In my group one of my players plays a dex based elf fighter, who in combat often tries to shift as quickly as possible from using his bow to fighting hand to hand with his rapier and his shield. My question is: how long does it take him, in terms of rounds, using the rules as written, to change his weapons and to embrace his shield? I would say that in a round he could toss away (with some care...) his bow, unsheathe his rapier and attack with it, but he couldn't grab and embrace effectively his shield in the same round, because that would require the "Use an Item" Action, or a separate Action anyway. Infact, I would say that, as long as he keeps attacking with his rapier on his turns, he can't grab and embrace his shield, and I find that it makes sense too. What would you say, I mean using the rules as written? Many thanks, happy life and happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
