[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 4520938, member: 74232"] You could house-rule that of course but I was talking RAW. In 4E an action is either a free action or it's not. There aren't different kinds or types of free actions. IMO saying that you could only change grips once but allowing multiple other free actions doesn't make a lot of logical sense. Switching grips takes as long as it takes to say "four". Switching back takes as long as it takes to say "score". Unless you are going to rule that you can't say "four score" in one round, you are doing it JUST to stop swordmages from getting a +1 damage NOT because it makes any sense. :p Since it doesn't make logical sense to limit it to once per round and it's allowed by RAW the only reason left for that house-rule is that the +1 damage is overpowering somehow. That I just don't see. Many other things in 4E are stronger and/or cheesier than the swordmage grip change that are perfectly RAW and legal. [/QUOTE]
