Message: <blockquote data-quote="Numion" data-source="post: 421787" data-attributes="member: 124">One reason still hasn't been mentioned:1.5 x STR bonus for wielding two-handed, and two weapon fighters.This means that a dual wielding will want to start combat by moving to his enemy and striking, which he can only do once because he moved. Thus he will want to hold his weapon in both hands to get that 1.5 x STR mod to damage instead of just regular 1 x STR mod. With draw he can make all his on- and off-hand attacks in the following round. Otherwise he'd have to either: a) start combat with both weapons in hands and only get STR mod, but get full attacks on following roundb) start combat with one weapon, get 1.5 x STR mod on first attack, but get only 1 attack the following round, because MEA is used to draw the other weapon.Both a) and b) are sub-optimal, but can be avoided with the quickdraw feat.Works only if the character has a medium weapon.</blockquote>
