[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8513991, member: 7030563"] Well a Rogue is not a very powerful class in terms of raw damage. Also to be clear "dramatically" refers to the span of examples I gave, from being able to automatically able to dump on an enemy without a check or roll (which is OP IMO) as compared to not being allowed to try it at all (which is underpowered). FWIW Mage Hand features prominently in combat I do with a Rogue, even if my DM does not allow this trick. Aside from the example here, I also use it to control the battle field with caltrops, ball bearings, hunting traps, steal enemy weapons before their 1st turn or their ammunition cases, steal their spell focuses/component pouches etc. That is really a defining trait of an Arcane Trickster. The knick is having the mage hand out though, because although you can use it with a BA, it takes an action to cast. So if it is not already out it when combat starts, it can be difficult to get it out. [/QUOTE]
