Gather the Storm (3.5e Maneuver)

Reloading a fired gun is an awkward and ponderous task &mdash; ejecting the used cartridge, pouring in black powder, loading a ball, ramming it down. But with a quick hand, a masterful finesse, and a through knowledge of the mechanisms of a firearm, such a task can be done in seconds.

When you initiate this maneuver, you may load any firearm you are holding. In addition, this maneuver allows you to load a gun even if you cannot use your hands &mdash; if, for example, you are holding a pistol in each hand, or have your hands tied behind your back. Through superhuman feats of coordination you can use your mouth, feet, and all your body to help load a gun, as long as you are not fully incapable of movement.
