[QUOTE="buzz, post: 2811941, member: 6777"] I'm not confused. IMO, you're confusing "Full-Round Action" with "1 round" and totally ignoring the fact, as stated in the quote from the DMG I provided, that actions in combat happen in [b]sequence[/b]. E.g., a fighter making a Full Attack is not attacking throughout the round as other characers take their actions; the attacks happen on their turn, and then you move on. This is D&D 101. A Standard Action is a Standard Action, and a Full-Round Action is a Full-Round Action. That's all I'm tryting to convey. Some people here are trying to put forth the idea that the Full-Round Action a fighter takes is somehow totally different in duration from the Full-Round Action a spellcaster takes. Well, then feel free to clarify your point. I've read the thread. I don't agree that the FAQ suggests this at all. Still, if you want to make "changing grips" into, effectively, a Swift Action, I suppose that's your perogative. I don't think the RAW points to this as logical, however.
