03-01-06, 10:40 AM Is it possible to draw a weapon as part of a charge, you can draw a weapon as part of a move, but a charge is a "special full round action". Any help would be great.
Thanks

03-01-06, 12:04 PM I don't allow this in my game for the reason you specified. Totally the DM's call on this one, but he would be generous to allow it.

03-01-06, 12:21 PM RAW, you can't draw a weapon during a charge, but I allow it anyway. To me it makes more sense (what is a charge other than a really fast/forceful movement?) and it's not game-breaking or anything to allow players to do so.

I kinda had the same thoughts on the quick draw and not a full double move things. I appreciate the input.

03-02-06, 12:05 PM The reason you should not allow it is that QuickDraw is a feat for god's sake.

Look, you can ALREADY draw a weapon and move and attack.

QuickDraw is only really usefull in rare circumstances:

1) Throwing weapons
2) Doing Full Attack action as a surprise when standing right next to the people you want to attack.
3) When Charging.

You are eliminating 1/3 of Quick Draw's power.

Leave the feat alone, it needs all the power it can get.
