[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[DM Surranó]

Okay, then here's the nitpicking part.

1. A wand has a lot more in common with an arrow than a sword. 
2. I also am not sure why, "you don't draw a wand" is an argument. 
3. When the QoE produces an arrow the user can do anything with it. 
4. The QoE doesn't care what you do with the arrow. 

1. True, they are "roughly the same size and shape". Except fletching and size. So if we go nitpicking then no, a 6 to 12 inches wand won't fit into a QoE, since arrows are some 30 inches long and have fletching.
2. It's because he other part of the sentence is the argument. "for use with a ranged weapon".
3. Correct, it produced the arrow but it is not producing the arrow but drawing the arrow that is an action.
4. Correct, but what you actually do determines the time needed. PHB specifically states it is free action "for use with a ranged weapon".

With the Quickdraw feat it becomes a free action!

Correct.

With a regular quiver you draw arrows as a free action.  If you can't draw arrows from the QoE as a free action then its a really crappy item.  I believe RAI is you can use the QoE just like a regular quiver.

Correct and RAI it is not a free action to draw any item from any compartment. Only ammunition for use with a ranged weapon. Just like a regular quiver.

To summarise, arrows are longer, have fletching, and you have a specific light grip on them when nocking. Your movement is in sync with the other hand holding the bow. We can put it this way: drawing ammunition from a container (not only QoE) is a free action as part of the action of loading your projectile weapon. (which is free action for bows, move or full round for others)
