			\|description=A quick, accurate melee attack maneuver. It deals damage while building balance, at a heavy cost in fatigue.
			\|messaging='''DRAW'''<br />
			''You see'': Driving in with exacting precision, you draw a wide-bladed dagger at a ship's rat. A ship's rat fails to dodge, only partially avoiding the impact. The dagger lands a heavy strike that bloodies the rat's lip, lightly stunning it.<br />
			[You're solidly balanced and in superior position.]<br />
			[Roundtime 2 sec.]<br />

			{{RTOC}}==Syntax==
			*{{tt\|DRAW}}
			: Attack the enemy you are already engaged with, or pick a new one if you are not engaged.
			*{{tt\|DRAW}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy.
			*{{tt\|DRAW}} ''<enemy>'' ''<body part>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy, aiming for the named body part.
			*{{tt\|DRAW LEFT}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack with the weapon in your off hand, training [[Offhand Weapon skill]] alongside the weapon skill. {{tt\|DRAW RIGHT}} forces the main hand.
			*{{tt\|DRAW HELP}}
			: Basic syntax help. {{tt\|DRAW HELP FULL}} gives the maneuver's mechanical profile, and {{tt\|DRAW HELP LIST}} lists the other combat options.

			==Game Helpfile==
			<pre>
			Draw launches an attack against an enemy.
			DRAW Attack enemy already engaged, or default to new.
			DRAW <enemy> Attack indicated enemy.
			DRAW HELP Basic HELP
			DRAW HELP FULL Expanded HELP
			DRAW HELP LIST This will list other valid combat options
			</pre>

			==Detailed Information==
			Draw is a damage dealing maneuver.<br />
			Draw tends to be a extremely fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.<br />
			Draw tends to be balance building.<br />
			Draw is a quick maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.<br />
			Draw is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is equally suited to puncture, slice, and impact weapons.<br />
			Draw temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is equally suited to evasion, parry, and shield defenses.<br />

			==Notes==
			* The clause that opens the attack line ("Driving in with exacting precision", and so on) reflects how well you handle the weapon, not the maneuver.
			* Draw does not share a minimum roundtime with any other maneuver. See [[Roundtime#Minimum_Roundtimes_for_Melee_Weapons_per_Attack_Type\|Roundtime]] for the figures by weapon weight.
			* {{tt\|DRAW}} does not remove a weapon from a sheath. Whenever the verb resolves no target -- including after {{tt\|DRAW HELP}} -- it prints:
			: [If you're trying to draw a weapon please use the 'WIELD' verb.]
			: Use {{com\|wield}} instead.

			==See Also==

			* {{com\|feint}}
			* {{com\|jab}}
			* {{com\|wield}}
