[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 9431706, member: 6779196"] There’s a specific interaction between the way the Light property, the Nick mastery, and the rules for drawing and stowing weapons are worded that could be interpreted as allowing you to draw or stow an extra weapon when attacking with Nick that you wouldn’t be able to when dual wielding without Nick, which could enable you to, for example, have a shield in one hand, a scimitar in the other, and another sheathed scimitar, then attack with the first scimitar, sheathe it after the attack, then draw and attack with the other scimitar. Alternatively, if you add in the Dual Wielder feat (which is now worded to give you a bonus action attack, separate from the two weapon fighting rules, as long as you’ve attacked with a Light weapon that turn) you could hold a scimitar in each hand, attack with and sheath one, attack with the other and draw a rapier or longsword, and then attack with the longsword as a bonus action. Add Extra Attack at 5th level and you could attack with the rapier or longsword again using your Extra Attack and sheathe it. There’s actually one too few attacks made as part of the attack action to draw the original scimitar again in the same turn, so you can really only pull this sequence off every other round. [/QUOTE]
