[QUOTE="LeifVignirsson, post: 1934327, member: 10833"] I think the problem is that there is a mixing of "D&D" and "Real World" logistics. If it were a real world issue where I had to move my sword to my off hand to get an axe from anywhere, we are talking about a long, sharp pointed bit o' steel that is rather top heavy. In the real world, it takes SOME concentration to not drop the sword (of course, this is not considering how experienced the weilder is) or kill themselves if something were to go wrong. If it were an issue of nothing was going on, fighter out in the field and he yawns in boredom; in order to break this boredom he whips out his axe from the Glove of Storing just to make sure it is there? Yeah, it is a free action. In battle, even before hand? No, sorry... That requires a bit more concentration especially if we are talking about the difference between a skirmish (say 4 or more pcs against 4 or more monsters) vs. an all out war prep (massive battle). The mind is a strange thing and even under great stress the most simpliest things can become very tough to do, even for someone who has done it for 20 years. As far as the Gloves go, I love them... but then they are more tailored for the rogue based PC's or someone who is more of a spy... In a battle hardened fighter who is all sweaty and greasy like Conan (not saying that anyone here is, just getting an analogy), I would think they would be worthless because it is something that wouldn't serve the fighter any good. *Again, this all an opinion and I can hear my DM's voice berating me here and there for these statements... hope this helps* [/QUOTE]
