Drawing Weapons and Shields

Q: On p. 194, for both "Draw or Sheathe a Weapon" and "Ready or Loose a Shield", the text uses the ohrase "If you use a atandard action to move..." you can do either of those two actions as a free action combined with a regular move.

 

What the heck does the "use a standard action to move" prefacing the Iron Heroes rules mean? That combining these actions with a regular move counts as a standard action? Ergo, a PC can't draw a weapon and attack in the same round? That can't be right.

 

Actually, that's exactly what it means.

 

I generally house rule the standard D20 rules back in for this, myself.
