Quick Draw?

[FinaL]

Okay - I'm fairly new to this game. However my MC is a Steelblood with Demonic origin.

I'm using my two handed weapon mostly for Demonic enemies, however when meeting humans, I switch to bare hands because of my claws.

I read about quick draw and thought it would be a nice addition for my MC, however it seems like that feat isn't available in this game, am I right?

But why do we have four different weapon sets then ? oO

It’ll cost you a move action to just switch weapons. Won’t provoke an aoO. No QuickDraw sadly :(

Because you cannot equip/unequip anything in combat other than belt item slots. Sometimes in combat, different weapons are better in certain situations - it might be nice to have options even if it takes a move action to switch to a different weapon set.

edit:
Just saw video evidence of someone equipping a weapon during combat. I suspect you can't unequip one, but I don't actually know.

yeah but why they chose not to include a feat from the pnp ? xD

The weapon sets can still be useful even without quick draw. Granted, quick draw would make them better, but try fighting one of the gelatinous cubes from Through the Ashes with your sword. It's good to have the ability to switch to a club even if it takes a move action to do so.

Yeah it's nice to have different weapons.
However it's a no brainer for me why the feat is missing. It still cost a feat point soooo...

In my opinion the primary use of Quick Draw is to get your full amount of attacks when using throwing weapons. Something you can already do in this game. So the only effect of Quick Draw would be the free action switching, which is hardly worth a feat. And not something you would do all that often.

And while you do get one extra attack at low levels when using your claws, at mid and high levels you get more attacks with a weapon. In addition to more bonuses on the attack roll and damage roll. Natural weapons are all right at the beginning, but quickly fall behind unless you can stack a whole lot of them.

Low priority or maybe devs, when they play PnP, do not use it.

I think quick draw got off’ed by the devs because of the entire action economy would need a lot of work. In pnp stowing a weapon costs a !standard! Action and provokes an aoO unless you have the quick stow feat where it would instead be a move action. Most players don’t get that feat and instead just drop their weapon which wouldn’t be easy to implement (without confusion) in game im sure. Furthermore, characters above lvl 1 can draw a weapon as part of their move action as well.

I’m pretty sure devs just said to hell with it and simplified it all.
