[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4332234, member: 2011"] I disagree that it should be a free action. Both hands have a weapon in them, so it should be a requirement that one of the hands "gets rid of" it's weapon, takes the other weapon, and then the other hand grabs the first weapon. One set of rules we have on it is: drop first (free), switch second (free?), pick up first (minor) which would be one minor. Another set of rules we have on it is: sheath first (minor), switch second (free?), draw first (minor) which would be two minors. Beyond this, we have no additional rules. But, these two options (assuming the switch is free) illustrate a minimum of one minor action and a maximum of two minor actions. So, it should minimally be a minor action. Adding in a new "free action rule to switch" appears to sidestep the rules we do have. We have two ways to accomplish this via the rules, so one should be used. [/QUOTE]
