#1 Undrhil May 03, 2015 17:31:37	Does dropping an item count as your one free object interaction on your turn?   Example:   On my turn, I fire my hand crossbow, then I drop it on the ground. Between turns, someone hits me and I use my reaction to use the Shield spell. On my next turn, I pick up my hand crossbow and fire it.    Can I then drop it on the ground, in anticipation of needing to cast a reaction spell again between turns?  Or did picking it up make it so I cannot drop it again?   As an addendum: can I choose to drop my weapon at anytime .. such as when it's someone else's turn.  For instance, if they are swinging at me, can I drop my weapon in order to cast the Shield spell?
