The Quick and the Dead d% 030
Ability (Max Rank 3)
Rank Progression
1
You can draw or sheathe a weapon in each hand as a free action 1/round.
2
Your speed with your weapon is such that you gain a +1H with it due to quick hands, and can draw the weapon as a free action as part of an attack or movement action. If opponent is not already in combat, gets -1 to deflect.
3
You can draw your weapon and attack as a surprise primary action if combat has not yet begun (no one has taken the initiative); If using a bow you may use it to take a reaction if a target provokes. If holding a weapon that isn't locked into your hand and a thrown weapon is handy you can toss your weapon in the air (Drop it, swing it on its lanyard), draw and throw the handy weapon then catch your falling weapon as a reaction 1/round.
Speed is survival — you are always the first to act.
Effect
You gain significant bonuses to initiative and reaction time, often acting before opponents can respond.
