Switch-Hitting Options for drawing and sheathing one's weapon

[Teridax]

Based on the ongoing ninja and samurai thread, there's demand for iaido-related feats for people to play a samurai who can quickly draw one's weapon, and benefit from sheathing it in combat. Additionally, many people in another sub-discussion within the thread expressed a desire for better switch-hitting in Pathfinder, as doing so is currently not particularly great on a class like the Fighter.

Based on this, I've written down a grab bag of assorted options for both. Highlights include:

* A 1st-level Fighter feat that you can only use as your first action in combat, but that lets you draw, move, and attack with significant action compression, with a bonus for Striking first.

* A couple of additional feats, also both available to the Fighter, to complete the general concepts of iaido, including a feat for shaking the blood off your weapon after slaying an enemy (and terrifying your surviving opponents), and another for sheathing your weapon and Readying the above 1st-level feat in the process.

* A 6th-level Fighter feat that lets you upgrade your proficiency track for a second weapon group, and a magic item that lets you copy runes across two weapons: this works similarly to blazons of shared power or doubling rings, except the item is higher-level and only works while one weapon is drawn and the other stowed.

The general underlying principle behind the above is to fill out a few currently empty niches on the Fighter for players who want to play a samurai that can quickly draw their weapon, as well as smoothly alternate between a melee and ranged weapon in combat. Although the feats and magic item are based on concepts related to samurai, they're also made to be general-purpose enough to serve a variety of character concepts.

My favourite take on Iado which was successfully used at my table is:

Swashbuckler
If you have panache, your weapon is sheathed
attackes with panache is quickly unsheating, striking, re-sheathing
and finisher are the full powered anime-level iaido strikes

that being said, those feats look fun, very tactical

Suggestion for another item:
Sheathe of many swords - works like a throwers bandolier for iaijutsu
the rune is on the item and the last weapon drawn gets its effects
probably no recall action needed
