    Default Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back

    Re 103: It is hard to give a RAW answer to this, as it is pretty open to GM interpretation. The relevant rules section has this to say:

    You can also interact with one object or feature of the environment for free, during either your move or your action. For example, you could open a door during your move as you stride toward a foe, or you could draw your weapon as part of the same action you use to attack.

    If you want to interact with a second object, you need to use your action.
    If your GM counts switching hands as an object interaction, E’Tallitnics' interpretation is correct. A more lenient GM might count it as a flourish and let you have it for free, or let it count as a part of a different interaction.

    "I switch my sword into my left hand and open the door with my right." Could be taken as one object interaction or two.
