[QUOTE="W'rkncacnter, post: 8695256, member: 7033455"] "used" in this context is "make attacks". nothing is stopping you from holding a two-handed weapon with one hand, you just can't make attacks while doing so. for the purposes of holding an object with one or two hands, this is distinction without difference. as crimson said earlier, you're the only one here inventing any sort of "re-grip"...anything, really. point to me where in the rules it says that two-handed weapons are different from versatile weapons in terms of moving a hand off or on it being an object interaction. until you do that, there's 0 point in you continuing because you'll be arguing from nowhere. actually, you can use the first point of GWM (making another attack as a bonus action after dropping an enemy to 0 hp or landing a crit) with a longsword because it only specifies you need a melee weapon. the second point you can't, yes, because it requires a weapon with the [B]heavy[/B] property. you also can use GWF with a longsword because it has the versatile property, so long as you're using it two handed. so not only is this point irrelevant, you're also just objectively wrong about it. more of a technicality, but "use an object" does state you only need to take the use an object action if you specifically want to interact with more then one object - it gives no limitations as to how many interactions you can make with one object. and this does not conflict with the phrasing of "draw or sheathe" - the "or" here could very well be inclusive or (i.e. and/or). the existence of the inclusive or is also part of why legal documents suck to read (because every time they mean exclusive or - i.e. or and not and - they need to specify as such). not that this is relevant or probably even intended - i just thought it was an interesting thing to note about the language of the action. THAT you can throw under your "natural language" complaint pretty safely i think. [/QUOTE]
