How about drawing a weapon from somehwere else on the body?

[perfecto]

Such as drawing a whip from it's position worn as a belt.. even if it makes you drop things, don't you think  you'ld manage in the heat of battle.. or cha ha ankle ep .. saying I have a a nice weapon worn upon my ankle.. it would be handy to be able to do so.. just a thought?

ROLL it around.. and yell at me.. I'm sure.

This is already in game. There are sheathes you can wear on other parts of your body. Or am I missing something?

[Cutthroat]

I think it would be a pretty useful thing to implement, since some of these wearable weapons seem to be the sort of thing you'd pull out to surprise an opponent.

Perhaps make 'draw' look for any worn item instead of just weapons hung on the belt and sheathed on the back. Then you could, say:
- pull off a hat, and hold it if it's a holdable item
- draw a shield from your back
- draw wearable weapons

This is already in game. There are sheathes you can wear on other parts of your body. Or am I missing something?

He's talking about a weapon you can directly wear on your person without a sheath, like how some melee weapons and bows can be 'worn on back' like a backpack, or whips that can be wrapped around your waist.

The dull-eyed, stalwart man unsheathes a whip which was his belt.

The dull-eyed, stalwart man blushes furiously as his pants drop to his ankles!

Draw wearable weapons would be awesome. AWESOME (for emphisis)
That way I can walk around with a scythe and halberd on my back, while I've got a duel axes sheathed. I'd be wearing my punching glove and wearing my knife belt full of throwing knives. I'll have my good fightin' knife in my boot. I can just take my bow out of my quiver.
I've always wanted to be Yu-gi-oh!'s hunter with seven weapons.

Totally not a joke.

You brandish your leather, sharp-rimmed hat.

You can sheathe large weapons on your back.
You can sheathe medium/small weapons on your belt.

You can find sheath items in games, where you "load" items into them, like into your boots, or a sheath item that you wear on your forearms.  You can draw these items from there.


Sheathe    (Combat)
This command will attempt to place your character's first wielded weapon encountered into the first available location on the belt. Your character must be wearing a belt in order to 'normally' sheathe weapons (see below). The search pattern as follows: search primary hand, search secondary hand, look for first belt location, look for second belt location. You must name the weapon to sheathe.

You can substitute an argument for the name of the weapon in order to make the target the weapon in a specific location.   
These are:    ep, primary, es, secondary, etwo, both, two.

Some objects have sheaths built into them.   

Examples would be knife-belts, sword-sheaths, or even some boots.

Another option is available for larger weapons, which can be used by appending the "back" argument. This will cause the weapon to be sheathed across your character's back instead of hung from the belt. No special equipment is needed to sheathe weapons on the back.

Syntax:
sheathe <<weapon>|ep|primary|es|secondary|etwo|two|both> [back|<container>]

Examples:
> sheathe sword
> sheathe primary
> sheathe dagger knife-belt
> sheathe spear back
> sheathe etwo back

Note:
Some weapons are too large to be sheathed on the belt, and conversely, some weapons are too small to be sheathed on the back.

...and...

Draw    (Combat)
This command will draw whichever weapons you specify that your character has sheathed (i.e., hung on the belt, or slung over the back), and will put it in the first free hand he/she has. That is, if the primary hand is free, the weapon will go there, else the secondary hand. Two-handed weapons, which are rarely used because of their weight and unwieldiness, may prevent you from drawing two weapons.

Weapons sheathed across your back are also retrievable with this command.

In order to draw a weapon immediately with two hands (i.e., have it equipped in both hands), append the argument "two" or "etwo" after the command.

Weapons in sheaths (e.g., wristsheaths, boots) must be drawn with the appropriate keyword (for the sheath) appended.

Syntax:
draw <weapon>
draw <weapon> <two>
draw <weapon> <etwo>
draw <weapon> <sheath>

Examples:
> draw sword
> draw spear two
> draw spear etwo
> draw knife wristsheath



I think most weapon items cannot be 'worn', so wearing a whip as a belt might be the only special case that I can think of.  Wearing a sword as pants?  Can you imagine?

[Chettaman]

Ouch.

But there are large weapons you can actually wear as clothing. But can't be drawn after.

<worn on back> Halberd
<slung across back> Pike

(two open hands)
>draw pike
You draw a pike

(two open hands)
>draw halberd
You cannot do that.

[Synthesis]

Easier solution:  "remove" can be used in combat, but opens you up to a free attack, like the "get" command does.

[Chettaman]

You sure? I'd think it'd be like removing clothing and stuff during battle.
"Not while fighting!"

But I think it should be implemented if not.

Edited:
Dang it. -just- restated what synth said.

That's what I meant.

Wearing a shield + backback at the same time with the ability to draw shield would be kaboom.

Finding out how items of clothing that 'load' work was one of the coolest discoveries for me. Another one was finding out the other awesome thing about items like this and a certain skill.

I thought your nickname is highschool was sword pants?
