Using WotCs ruling, you get this dichotomy:(a) Bob is holding a weapon in one hand, with a light shield in the other. He drops the weapon, takes a standard action (let's say he casts a spell), and moves 30 feet. While moving 30 feet, he draws a second weapon.(b) Bob is holding a weapon in one hand and a light shield in the other. He transfers the weapon to his shield hand, takes a standard action (once again, casting a spell), and then transfers the weapon back from his shield hand to his weapon hand.Apparently, (a) is perfectly okay, but somehow (b) takes too much time. I'm just not seeing how this makes any sense, especially since the end result for the character is effectively the same (he has a weapon at the beginning and end of the sequence, threatening those around him). Moving 30 feet should take more time by itself than moving weapons back and forth between your hands, and that's without considering the dropping the weapon and drawing a new one.</blockquote>
