Ok, basicially read the title
.
When is a character considered to be wielding a specific weapon(for example for the purpose of iajutsu master ac bonus, pls no discussion on this prC or OA)?
Some possible answers I thought off.
1. He is holding it.
2. He is holding it and has attacked in the same round.
3. He is holding it and has attacked since drawing it.
4. He is carrying it with him in a rdy postion(sheathed on the belt...) and is not flatfooted therefore able to actually attack in a short time. This point as it stands seems unlikely, but gets grey when the character has quickdraw or any other way of drawing as a free action, since he could technically attack in the same move as drawing, which would make it the same situation as point 1.
Thanks for your thoughts.
