[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 8692593, member: 19270"] Reference, Rolld20: Combat, subheading "Other Activity on Your Turn." "You could draw your weapon" doesn't specifically distinguish whether it takes 1 or two handed. Cross reference this with general rules apply unless trumped by a specific one, a basic concept of the game. Barring any specific rule for 2-handed weapons, the general rule is that any weapon can be freely drawn during an Attack. The weapon isn't a "second object" so that argument is moot. And, there's nothing that suggests a 2-handed weapon presents an "unusual obstacle." What the DM may be confusing is what happens if you have a 2-handed weapon in hand, hold it with one hand, and cast a spell as an Action. In that scenario, you're denied the use of that weapon that round (barring taking the Warcaster Feat) for things like Attacks of Opportunity. However, there is no specific rule anywhere in 2-handed weapons to treat them differently than 1-handed weapons, and that's that. Yeah, that seems spot on where the DM is getting this idea. [/QUOTE]
