[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2149962, member: 1656"] First example that comes to mind - your longsword/shortsword TWFer can't use his shortsword on that standard action attack, but if he draws it while moving, it occupies a hand. With Quickdraw, he can move, strike with his longsword wielded in two hands for extra Str bonus to damage, then Quickdraw his shortsword for next round's full attack. That's debatable :) To draw a wand, you use the Draw a Weapon move action: [i][b]Draw or Sheathe a Weapon[/b] Drawing a weapon so that you can use it in combat, or putting it away so that you have a free hand, requires a move action. [b]This action also applies to weapon-like objects carried in easy reach, such as wands.[/b] If your weapon or weapon-like object is stored in a pack or otherwise out of easy reach, treat this action as retrieving a stored item.[/i] The action refers to "weapon or weapon-like object". The Quick Draw feat, on the other hand... [i][b]QUICK DRAW [GENERAL][/b] Benefit: You can [b]draw a weapon[/b] as a free action instead of as a move action. [/i] ... does not. Now, it can be argued that when Quick Draw says "You can draw a weapon", it is referring not to 'drawing a weapon', but rather to the 'Draw a Weapon action'. In which case wands are included, since the Draw a Weapon action covers both weapons and weapon-like objects. But it can also be argued that Quick Draw allows you to draw a weapon as a free action, while drawing a weapon-like object is outside the scope of the feat, and takes a move action as normal (or a free action combined with a regular move, with a BAB of +1 or higher). -Hyp.
