[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 7410751, member: 6784868"] You are right about the pouches. It is one of the reasons why I usually pick them instead of an Arcane Focus. And Disarm is a maneuver of the Battlemaster. Feel free to see the rules. And, read again, I've said fake rules lawyering. Because it is actually not: you are ignoring rules, and at the same time, saying that I'm ignoring them, when I'm not. Improvised actions. Disarm maneuver. Contests. Interacting with an object. Disarm of the DMG. Spell components. you are throwing everything on behalf of one rule, and one rule only: hit points. You have to go through hit points. You can't debuff, hinder, or otherwise force anyone to think tactically without spells. You are even ignoring a core fighter maneuver. As I've said countless times now, you are denying one of the bases of 5e: the player decides what to do, the DM says how. You are saying "No". The fun thing is, as a fighter, I am able to surpass in damage and thougness to any wizard. The thing that really bothers me is that the same fireball that I pass, kills my bard and warlock companion, my warhorse, the ranger's pet and the wizards' familiar. Furthermore, I'm not trying to one-shot the wizard, quite the opposite, in fact. I have more probabilities to one shot them via multiple attacks, action surge and maneuvers. It is only the damage the wizard could do to my companions that draws me to disable their most destructive spells, and compel them to focus on myself with suboptimal attacks. I could win the long contest, but my companions don't, and I'm eager to go into the frail, grant the wizard minions opportunity attacks and everything else if that way I protect my companions.
