Message: <blockquote data-quote="Primitive Screwhead" data-source="post: 3257908" data-attributes="member: 20805">My original response, copy/paste from the General thread:An addition, based on the additional thoughts in this thread, if the archer chose to take the penalties for TWF, I would allow the multiple free action changing of weapons. This would be the expenditure of two non-archery feats in exhange for an improvement in a known weak area.The problem with rulings like this is defining 'holding' vs 'weilding'. Common sense will tell you that 'holding' and 'weilding' a spiked gauntlet look exactly the same. However game mechanics make the two states distinctly different and you are required to 'ready' a spiked gauntlet even if you are already 'holding' it.Actually I also allow all of this, however in order to weild a second weapon in order to threaten a second area you either need to take the TWF penalties or do the Quickdraw trade mentioned above.This is a very sub-optimal tactic, however in the case of protecting oneself against grappling, only 1 point of damage is needed.Sidenote: Improvised weapons are treated as if you are non-proficient with them, however this does not stop you from using Weapon Finesse, Power Attack, or other options while weilding them.I allow a feat 'Bar Room Brawler' that grants proficiency in improvised weapons <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=":)" /></blockquote>
