I've been pretty lax about some of the rules in combat. The one that I'm going to start enacting after this one is that drawing a new weapon is a full round action. You can have your weapon of choice readied. That isn't an issue. But switching weapons mid-melee is the concern.
If you choose to drop a weapon to the floor, we can ignore the full round. So let's say you generally use a sword and want to switch to bow? Instead of sheathing and switching? Drop the sword and you can take your bow attack.
This makes weapon choice more important at the start of combat and hazards the chance that you could lose a weapon if the fight goes south.
I always liked that in my past games.
