Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arial Black" data-source="post: 8692485" data-attributes="member: 6799649">This week my DM told me half-way through my extra attack sequence that when nothing is in your hands except your two-handed weapon, removing one hand takes your free interaction even though it costs nothing to drop the weapon (removing both hands!), and that re-gripping it takes another object interaction, therefore using my action, therefore not having an action left, therefore I can't use the Attack action!He said he saw a tweet or something somewhere, but he couldn't find it again.Later he said that the tweeter/poster/whatever got mixed up. What they said was that getting your spell components out of your component pouch was your free interaction and re-gripping your greatsword with that hand was also an object interaction, leaving no action remaining to attack.So the position is either:-* both removing one hand from your held 2H weapon AND re-gripping it each costs its own object interactionOR* letting go with one hand costs nothing, but re-gripping it costs your free interaction.Imagine your greatsword is sheathed. You draw it (with one hand, obviously), you then grip it with your other hand because you need both hands to attack with it, then attack.Nope! Drawing your weapon IS your free object interaction for this round! If you then grip it with your other hand it takes another object interaction, which uses your action, so you don't have an action to attack! Of course if you DON'T grip it with your other hand then you can't attack with a 2H weapon if only one hand is on it!Is this correct? Are users of 2H weapons unable to draw and attack with them in the same turn, while users of 1H weapons are unhindered?Or is this, as I suspect, total BS?Has anyone heard of this 'rule'? If so, please cite the book and page number.Has anyone seen this post/tweet? If so, please quote/link.</blockquote>
