[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2016739, member: 478"] Because of stuff like this, I'd do it in the following way (sounds more complicated than it is): With each of your turns, you have to decide what weapons you are wielding during the round. You can wield either a single weapon, or multiple weapons at a time. When you are attacking during your turn, you can only do so with a weapon you are wielding. You can freely designate any weapons available for attacking to wield as a free action before each attack. If you attack with multiple weapons at the same time, appropriate penalties for two-weapon attacks or multi-weapon attacks apply for the whole round. If you attack with only one weapon, you can still decide freely to wield any other weapons you are able to attack with in addition to the one you actually use, but then you also suffer the appropriate penalties. You can spend a move action to wield different weapons after attacking. When you are not attacking, you can designate one of your weapons (a monk's unarmed attacks count as one weapon for this purpose) as the one you are wielding. You must be able to attack with a weapon in order to wield it. Weapons cannot be wielded in this way, if you used at least one arm necessary to hold the weapon otherwise during your turn (i.e. when freeing one hand from a two-handed weapon (free action) in order to cast a spell or drink a potion), unless you spend a move action to wield it afterwards (and put the hand back). In case of the buckler, if you also hold a weapon with the same arm, you cannot use the buckler for defense (unless you have the Improved Buckler Defense feat), if you designate that weapon as the one to wield during the round. You can also designate two or more weapons to wield this way, but then you suffer appropriate penalties for two-weapon attacks or multi-weapon attacks for all attacks made with these weapons during the round. You can only make attacks of opportunity with a weapon you are wielding. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
