[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7589107, member: 6919838"] Picking it up - do they have a free hand? Is there an obstacle or need for extra care or caution? Normally you can use your interaction to pick something up if you have a free hand and there are no circumstances that make it so that it's hard to pick up or requires carexetc. I I the case of the there being an obstacle or special care needed that make the interaction no longer easy, the rules allow the GM to require the interaction is actually an action. You should be able to kick it away, as an interaction or action (see "obstacle/care exception"), even with full hands. In my games, if there is an adversary right there, active, who doesnt want you to pick up an item you do not already control, I count that as needing special care or as an obstacle and so it's always an action to pick up a "contested" object. The bonus action options you list are by RAW a no. Bonus actions have to be allowed by specific abilities or traits. They are not just mini-actions you get to fill in with whatever seems convenient.
