[QUOTE="Sezarious, post: 6877965, member: 6792106"] Just like to weigh in here 5e is no longer restricted by the concept of being restricted to the 5ft square. Therefore it's reasonable to assume that you can pick up a weapon you have disarmed from an enemy without having to worry about getting in their 'square'. As stated above regarding the battlemaster disarming manoeuvre, a disarmed weapon lands at their enemies feet. Under the object interaction description, one of the examples of an object interaction is 'picking up a dropped axe'. As a DM, i don't see it as overpowered. I see the potential to use these rules AGAINST my players as much as they may use them against me. It's more likely that disarming a PC wizard of his arcane focus or a fighter of his magic sword is going to be more devastating than a PC disarming a couple of enemies of their generic weapons in an encounter. I just think that the best thing about D&D is the potential for players to be able to try ANYTHING, which they CAN'T do in videogames. I strongly believe in sandbox games. I also believe that a DM who limits his players, places similar limitations on him or herself. Mind you, I also understand that there are some players out there who are absolute A-holes and try and abuse the system and ruin the games for their own ego, so from that perspective, I understand the importance of rulings now.
