Ok, so let's get firing on all cylinders and think of a syntax.
I like the suggestion Morgenes put out:
Quote> palm knife boots es
You quietly slip the knife out of your boots and hold it in your off hand.
But how to make it work for drawing? Well.. perhaps it can combine remove and palm, bypassing draw altogether?
"premove sword ep"
"You remove a pointy sword from your swordbelt into your primary hand"
EDIT: This would be a sword sheathed/worn on the belt, not inside a belt container. For that, see the suggestion of Morgenes.
thoughts?
This already happens, if the weapon is small enough and in a sheath specially designed to hold those small weapons, and if you have the right skill.
I would just keep the actions the same but if you're in hide mode the code can make
the attempt using your sleight of hand skill as a determining factor.
Locking this, as I now realize it is possible, as we've discussed.
