Hello friends. Our play session and some questions I need your help.


1) A character can GRAPPLEING an enemy with "opportunity attack"?


2) When a disarming character (action) an enemy, says in the PHB that the weapon falls to the ground. In the same turn the character can "get the weapon" with a free action? The enemy could try to catch up with Reaction? A DEX contest to see who picks up the weapon first? How to do that?


3) A character being grappled (grabbed condition) by an enemy can attack? If you can, with a gun in one hand or two hands? You can make a contest of strength to try to move the enemy, even though he grabbed? And the enemy can attack with a one-handed weapon?

1) You cannot grapple an enemy with an opportunity attack; doing so requires taking the Attack action (see Grappling in the Combat chapter of the Player's Handbook or Player's Basic Rules).

2) After disarming an enemy, a player can "interact with an object" to pick up the weapon, provided they have a free hand, or kick it away. The disarmed opponent can't interact with the weapon until their turn.

3) A character being grappled can make attacks as normal. The Grappled condition only reduces the grappled creature's speed to 0. If the grappled creature wants to move, it would have to use its action to escape the grapple or somehow remove itself from the grappling creature's reach without moving. One way to do that would be to use the Shove special attack - assuming that the grappling creature's reach was only 5 feet, shoving that creature 5 feet away would remove the Grappled condition.

Of course, if the Dungeon Master didn't like the way these rules worked, he or she could decide to change them.

2) There are no rules that specifically address this - reverse the question: If a player were standing over an item, would an enemy be able to grab the item from the player's square without the player being able to contest the action? Rule as you see fit.
