[QUOTE="W'rkncacnter, post: 8695024, member: 7033455"] you know, i think we're all ignoring something here - [spoiler="versatile weapons exist."] Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property-the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack. [/spoiler] notice how absolutely nothing in this property states or even suggests you need to spend an object interaction to change between attacking it with one or two hands. this means that you could absolutely make one attack with a versatile weapon with one hand and the next with two [B]and[/B] still have an available object interaction. the two-handed property only requires you to have two hands on the weapon when you make an attack with it. this means that you can hold a two-handed weapon with one hand, you just can't make an attack with it while doing so. there is no specific rule that states two-handed weapons behave differently from versatile weapons in any way regarding what is or is not an object interaction while handling them. ergo, you MUST be able to move one hand on or off a two-handed weapon before or after making an attack with it without using an object interaction. a GM can rule otherwise, obviously, but they will not be playing RAW (or RAI, as noted earlier). oh, and also- my brother in christ, please tell me you are not unironically suggesting that making an attack with a weapon counts as an object interaction. PLEASE tell me this was a typo of some sort. [/QUOTE]
