An Arcane Trickster has to reach level 13 before he can even use his Mage Hand to be annoying, as a distraction via Versatile Trickster ( PHB p98). It does not establish a general case for making ability checks with Mage Hand. Mage Hand Legerdemain only allows for a Sleight of Hand (Dexterity) check to do the specific things it lists. If the specific rules 2 for Mage Hand Legerdemain have to call out the ability to stow and retrieve objects from other people, then clearly the intent of the general case is that Mage Hand alone cannot manipulate objects in another creature's possession. You can use thieves’ tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range.You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.Stealing other items requires looking at the things an Arcane Trickster Rogue ( PHB p98) adds to Mage Hand. Shove ( PHB p194) is also an attack, so no.įor an Arcane Trickster Rogue? Some of them. Mage Hand cannot make attacks and is also not a weapon, so that's out. Either way, it requires hitting the opponent with a weapon attack. It cannot attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds.ĭisarming Attack 1 is a special ability available to Battle Master Fighters or characters who take Martial Adept ( PHB p168). The basic text of Mage Hand says it can manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial.
