Quick Draw and Ring of Force

[pawsplay]

Loading arrows is a free action. For instance, a fighter with three attacks and a bow takes three free actions a round.

I limit the number of free actions IMC, but it scales with level, so up to 5th level you get one, up to 10 you get two, etc... It limits abuse but does not hinder what character SHOULD be able to do within the RAW.

I also allow sheathing on quickdraw.

Those poor second level rangers with Rapid Shot...

Or first level monks with shuriken and Flurry.

I assume you do not have Iaijutsu master PCs, Werk.

Or first level monks with shuriken and Flurry.

First level 3.0 monks with shuriken and flurry.

Add in rapid shot, exotic weapon master, and a bunch of rogue levels to boot, and you're gravy

Er... why not 3.5?

[Sithobi1]

Because in 3.0 you could use several shuriken at once, exacerbating the problem of only having one free action.

More precisely, Quick Draw allows you to draw weapons as a free action, but has no effect on the time it takes to sheathe a weapon.

-Hyp.

I agree, which is why I have always wondered why there is no quick sheathe feat in any of the new books.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Because in 3.0 you could use several shuriken at once, exacerbating the problem of only having one free action.

But in 3E, I don't think drawing ammunition or shuriken was defined as a free action, was it?

(Aside from the problems of mixing the 3E Monk with the 3.5 Exotic Weapon Master...)
