Yes: drawing a wand is like drawing a sword. It's a move action in itself; OR a free action if done as part of your move; OR a free action if you have quick draw.
Now I lean towards claiming that "general size" is a numeric restriction, say, 2/3 to 4/3 of the average size. Why? If a wand (6-12") is the same general size as an arrow (24" to 33" or 2 to 5 times longer) then an arrow is the same general size as a quarterstaff or a pike (66" to 132") and you can argue that you could store those in the arrow compartment. So
- Average arrow is 28.5" so items 19" to 38" fit
- Average javelin is about 3 to 4 feet so items 2'4" to 4'8" fit.
- Average staff or spear is about 6 to 8 feet so items about 4'8" to 9'4" fit.
Figures above are for medium characters. Since putting items of various sizes may conflict with the "same general size" criteria I'd say that QoE does not resize so you downscale everything. E.g. Portho's javelin or Toot's staff would go into the armor compartment of Lugar's QoE and Lugar's arrow would go into the javelin compartment of Portho's QoE or the staff compartment of Toot's QoE.
Another question; do wands resize?
- If they don't then they fit in Toot's QoE but the 12" ones must be handled two-handed by Toot. (here we can assume that Toot picked the shortest ones (6" in the shop) so he can handle his own one-handed.
- If they do then they don't fit in anybody's QoE.
