Quickdraw Feat=Useless

[CRGreathouse]

IMO drawing a weapon as a free action during a move action == drawing a weapon while moving as one action. Anyway, what page number of the PH is it?

PH, page 128, column 2; about 2/3 down. "If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher..."

Did I miss it, or has noone mentioen Iajitsu?

Shield, yes

My fighter uses a glaive and has quickdraw. When it's time to mix it up in close, he can drop the glaive, pull a 1H melee weapon and a shield and still attack (drop = free, draw = free, shield = MEA). Or, of course, he can draw the 2H sword and full attack (just that's not high enough level for that to matter yet ).

Oh yeah? Well if your spaghetti doesn't have any sauce on it, is it still spaghetti?

Typically. Except, of course, when it's not.

Um, no.

Just thought of a good tactic using this feat. A TWF rogue or even fighter monkey gripping a great sword. Assuming you had a foe within 10' (so if needed you could just 5' step), you could make all of your iterative attacks with the great sword using 2 hands, getting 1.5Xstrength bonus. Then, quickdraw your short sword or whatever and unload with your one, two, or three offhand attacks (depending on whether you have Improved TWF or Greater TWF). NICE!

Don't think the rules allow that. You might roll your primary attacks and then your secondary attacks for convenience, but I'm pretty sure that the flavor is primary/secondary, primary/secondary for iterative attacks. You'd have to quickdraw each shortsword (one per attack) and if I were your DM, I'd only let you have a small number of scabbards to QD from. Like, say, 4 shortsword scabbards, or maybe 8 daggers.

And then there's the haversack. . .

The haversack won't help except for blunt weapons. But I'm not aware of the rule you are guessing at. Why should you be restricted to making the exact same attack routine every time? That seems illogical and well...boring! Besides that, I don't think it's a rule. Cite a page reference please.

However, you WOULD incur TWF penalties for all attacks, even the 2handed greatsword attacks.
