[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7589073, member: 6776887"] Incoming rulings in 3...2...1... ;) My thoughts. [LIST=1] [*]Yes, they can pick it up as an interaction with the environment [I]if[/I] they have a free hand and it is within 5 feet. An equally decent ruling would be that the weapon must be within the disarmer's space for them to pick it up, so they would need to shove the disarmee back so that they can stand over the weapon to pick it up. [*]It depends, the disarmer could attack with the weapon if the conditions were correct. If the disarmer's weapon and the disarmee's weapon were both light weapons, then the disarmer could use two-weapon fighting (where a bonus action melee attack usually shows up). Otherwise, the disarmer would have to drop its weapon to attack with the disarmee's weapon. A creature usually only gets one interaction with the environment as part of its turn, so that means picking up the weapon used it. It cannot also use another interaction with the environment for something else like stowing its weapon so it can use the other weapon as part of a multiattack. [*]Maybe? Kicking the weapon away seems more like an action to me. Since the attack action was already used, action economy would preclude this if a GM felt kicking the weapon away required an action. If the GM thinks that it is more of interaction with the environment, then yes, that would work. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
