[QUOTE="Chorn, post: 2231318, member: 11849"] ThirdWizard is most likely referring to a situation where you're armed with a longspear that threatens at 10' but not within. So an enemy who moves within 5' must leave a threatened square provoking an AoO before attacking. On your turn, you can drop the spear as a free action and Quick Draw your greatsword to hack him to pieces. Doing this, you can get an extra attack in the form of an AoO without continually backstepping to use your reach weapon or losing the full attack when you use a move action drawing your more optimal melee weapon. You only really gain one extra attack with the reach weapon compared to simply sticking to your greatsword, but the reach weapon may open some more tactical options that you can better exploit when you can Quick Draw that greatsword you spent so many feats specializing in. For example, using a tripping weapon to send your opponent to the floor as your AoO denying him his attacks. Draw your sword and get more payoff on your multiple attacks from the bonus for attacking prone opponents. Does that clear up the ditziness? [/QUOTE]
