Matt_S:
Hoo boy, the first real test.  I pulled out my crossbow when I first saw the cave, but I imagine since I did all sorts of stuff since then (key, door, mules) you'll probably say I put it away :)  And is drawing my dagger from my wrist sheath still the same +5 (or +4 for ROF 2 thrown weapon?) initiative penalty?

The PHB has the "Firing into a Melee" section; does the same sort of thing apply if an ally is in my line of fire but not in melee with the enemy? 

raekuul:
Well that was easy.

Matt_S:
Okay then, your job is done :P

Malek Deneith:
Yes, I'd say you put the crossbow away in the meantime. The same init mod, unless the item description states otherwise sheath only protects your dagger from outside wear'n'tear.

As for fireing into melee - I'd say it doesn't apply to targets in line of fire if they're not in combat (unless I later spot a rule on the contrary :P)

Matt_S:
Harumph.  So if I want to fire my crossbow or throw a dagger, I'll have to roll for initiative to get it ready; if I throw my dagger, I don't get a weapon speed bonus for the initiative roll, right?

Edit: oh, and trash ogre is Large right? I see now that it says medium.

Edit2: and another question, if I throw a dagger quickly enough, can I then draw my crossbow to have it ready for the next round?

I'll have to act later; gotta run to class.
