Supposedly there was at some point a class feature in D&D that allowed an attack as part of the action to draw a weapon. Took people all of two seconds to combo it with the Quick Draw feat.

This is something I came up with about the application of that combo. This uses Pathfinder in every way but that combo.

I do not own any RPG franchises.

The Samurai Takeda is about to face the greatest challenge of his life as he stares down a Balor Demon across the 1,000-ft.-long ruined hall. Tense silence hangs in the air for a number of seconds before the Balor starts running at Takeda.

Takeda throws off his cloak, revealing twelve different seemingly empty sheathes arrayed on his back, legs, and even shoulders while he calls out "Now, Thomas!"

Thomas the Bard starts playing a dramatic riff on his guitar from behind a pillar, bringing to bear one of his Bardic Performances. While doing so, he casts haste on Takeda, then summons a shadow clone to use a different Bardic Performance.

Takeda feels himself growing more powerful as the Balor continues its charge. The long hall gives Thomas over 18 seconds to activate his spells and performances. Eventually the Balor reaches Takeda and swings. Takeda reacts by activating his Juggernaut's Pauldrons and Ring of Force shield, growing to 13 feet tall and catching the attack in the center of an immaterial shield. It hurts, but he survives. He deactivates the shield.

"You are already dead."

In an instant he has reached both hands over his shoulder and grabbed the handle that appeares at the opening of one of the sheathes, drawing the katana, slashing it into the Balor with a cry of "ORA!", and releasing it to grab the handle that appears at the opening of the next sheathe. This process is repeated again and again and again, "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" In the blink of an eye, 94 katanas have seemingly sprouted from the Balor's flesh, with a katana now held in each of Takeda's hands.

Takeda pulls back his arms to launch a full-attack, but the Balor tips over backwards, dead.

Takeda blinks then sighs. "Is it too much to ask that I find ONE major demon capable of surviving long enough for me to finish the combo before dying?"

"There's always more demons, sir."

"I guess that's true."

Takeda collects all of his katanas from the downed demon, assisted by Thomas. After all of the katanas have been replaced in their respective sheathes, the two turn around and begin walking out of the ruined hall.

Thomas speaks up. "'Ora ora,' sir?"

Balor Demons are CR20 creatures, designed to challenge a 4-person party of level 20 players. That maneuver needed only two level 20 players, costed a mere 149,300 gold to collect the necessary supplies (which were not consumed in the execution), and dealt enough damage to flatten FIVE Balor Demons. I'm tempted to rewrite the scene without the Bard, but that would need me to do a lot more unnecessary math.
