[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 2965241, member: 607"] pole arms In hand, usually resting the shaft on your shoulder. mace You run the haft through a belt loop, and the head keeps it from going all the way through. morningstar Same as above, but the loop should be thicker/padded and out of your arm's way when you walk. battleaxe Same as mace, and usually has a leather "cap" to cover the business end of the blade. spiked chain The one depicted in the PHB, I have NO idea. But a regular chain with spikes on the links near the ends would be rolled about (like a lasso) and secured with a leather cord to your belt/backpack.

Are the "sheath" and "unsheath" rules the best for handling how long it takes? If you're trying not to overcomplicate things, yeah, pretty much. Except for the spiked chain.
