Anything that exists in a supplement is irrelevant unless you are specifically talking about that supplement.There are not many useful spells that lack a Verbal component, and of the ones which do, they trend toward not being useful in combat. Both friends and hypnotic pattern are on that list.If your DM rules that kicking a weapon away from someone counts as a free object interaction, then that's on them. It very well may depend on the terrain, or other factors. And again, if anyone abuses that ruling, expect weapon chains to be implemented in short order.The important part of the comparison is that you can't kill someone by simply slitting their throat. Not in combat, at least. (Or, arguably, ever.) All you can do is whittle away their HP, slowly. Likewise, if you want to choke someone in combat, you need to get through their HP before you can possibly do so.And then they pull out their backup wand. Seriously, those things are cheap.Only in that it relies on a generous interpretation from the DM, and the rules don't explicitly prohibit the DM from doing so. None of it is RAW in the sense that you could expect it to work without previously knowing anything about the DM.More likely, if you insist on trying to break the game, the DM just has your character die and you aren't invited back. Then everyone else can play the game in peace.</blockquote>
