[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8310711, member: 7030563"] That is the idea. If I am close enough and don't have other uses As I said in the other thread, what if he is not using a pouch and I just take his entire focus when he stows that? No it isn't. It is pretty obvious you reach in and get out what you want. To be clear, I think the rules intend for you to be able to take the entire pouch. You are nerfing it to start with. What if he puts his component pouch in a pocket or sack or backpack, can I take the whole thing then since it is in a container? It allows you to take something. It is presumed that you know what you are taking and where you are taking it from. It does not say in the ability that you reach into a container worn by another creature and get a random thing from it. How about if I use it to reach into my allies pack and grab his potion of healing so I can revive him? Do I get a random item from his backpack because I am not familiar with where he put his potion of healing? It is not 15 to 20 seconds; reach in, grab the bat guano and get out and in this discussion lets also be clear that we are talking about doing it with magic ...and of course this is only being discussed because I can't reach in and grab the whole pouch. Who says I can't feel what I am taking? I can use it to pick locks in 6 seconds from 30 feet away for crying out loud! Do you think I could do that if I could not feel with the hand? It would be a heck of a lot harder to do that then pull a marble or bat shite out of a pouch. Based on the description it would strongly imply that you can feel what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
