Say a Fighter with a reach weapon makes an AoO against an opponent as it moves toward him from fifteen feet away, the AoO coming when it leaves the middle square 10' away.
In the next round the Fighter won't be able to attack the opponent when it completes the move that caused the AoO and becomes adjacent because, reach weapon.
Fighter can drop the reach weapon for free but can't draw, say, his longsword without himself taking an AoO unless he also takes a regular move, which apparently does not include a five-foot step because five-foot steps are no actions.
Can Fighter draw his weapon while moving only five feet without taking an AoO if he declares that action to be a regular move of just five feet, or are all five-foot moves considered five-foot steps?
