I am running a Tabaxi rogue that is currently 4th level.

In a recent fight, purely to piss off the leader of a band of thugs, my character ran in the 20ft and lifted his gold pouch (lucky roll 19, for a total of 26), then proceeded to bonus action disengage. The feline agility racial ability allows me to double speed for a round, so was able to disengage to a distance of 40ft.

The DM was totally ok with this, I didn’t actually do any damage and I “wasted” my turn for flavor and fun.

I get that you can’t use slight of hand to perform a disarm, but what is are your thoughts on lifting daggers/arrows/spell components etc…which are not being held by an enemy?

This could be very OP if I’m allowed to steal a wizards components pouch, rendering them significantly less of a threat.

    What kind of wizard doesn’t keep a backup focus/pouch though? Stealing it before combat though? Totally viable.

    Not all spells require material components.

      Totally true; there are some massively powerful spells that don’t have components. But it could make a big difference to the right encounter.
