[QUOTE="bjorn2bwild, post: 4467308, member: 61215"] Well the title pretty much says it all. If I have a character holding a versatile weapon, say a longsword, in one hand and want to switch to holding it in two hands, what type of action is required? Likewise, if I'm holding a versatile weapon in two hands and want to switch to holding it in one hand, what type of action is required? I can't seem to find anything specific in the PHB with regards to versatile weapons, although I suspect it's a free action to go from 2h to 1h as that would essentially fall under the category of dropping a weapon. The end result of all of this is I'm trying to determine the net worth of a swordmage carrying a versatile weapon in one hand and nothing in the other. Is it possible to trade off between holding it in two hands for attacking and holding it in one hand the rest of the time (and still have that all important minor action available for assigning the aegis). Likewise, if you're an assault swordmage and you're holding your sword in one hand, would you be able to get both hands on the blade for your aegis basic attack? [/QUOTE]
