I understand that you only get one per turn. So if you move you can open a door as your free object interaction. And that's it. You have used your free interaction... But then you take the Attack action. The Attack action specifically says that you can equip or unequip a weapon.Equipping and Unequipping Weapons. You can either equip or unequip one weapon when you make an attack as part of this action.The way I read this it is separate from the one free object interaction per turn. No where does it say that this uses the free interaction you get or that it prevents you from using the free interaction with an object that is laid out in the Interacting with Things rule. Looking at what you included from 2014 I believe that your interpretation might be a holdover from the 2014 rules that no longer applies. I could be wrong, but it looks to me like it has changed.Yes. I understand this.The way I read it if you have the Dual Wielder feat you can open a door during your move, then draw two swords when you take the Attack action and make an attack. Then if you have a second attack you can stow both weapons after you attack and free your hands again. For example.We agree here. Since the Magic action (and the Material component rules) do not allow you to equip a focus as part of that action, you must use the Interacting with Things rule that allows you to interact with one object or feature.Here I disagree. First, you don't "draw" a shield at all. You either Don or Doff, as you said in your last sentence. And the rule for shields specifically says that it requires the Utilze action to do so. Techincally you don't draw weapons either, but if you were also able to take the Attack action, like if you were Hasted, you could then equip or unequip one weapon for each attack in addition to Donning your shield with the Utilize action. (Probably want to use the Hasted action to Don the shield and your regular action for the Attack action.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )And here is where I think the confusion is. This is from the old rules. The new rules removes the "draw your weapon as part of the same action you use to attack" example. And I think it was intentional and done for a very good reason. They added the equipping and unequipping rules to the Attack action. Overall, the 2024 rules are much more forgiving on what they allow you to do.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/basic-rules-2014/combat#OtherActivityonYourTurn[/URL]Thanks for the response! This is exactly the type of feedback I was looking for. I am reading the rules, going back and forth between all of the different places that the action economy is spread across, and it seems almost impossible that I didn't miss something.I respect this. It used to be called Use an Object. They could have stuck with that or just shortened it to Use.</blockquote>
