[QUOTE="Zorku, post: 6736299, member: 6799940"] Legerdemain adds the options of stow/retrieve objects in containers worn by other creatures, and picking locks/disarming traps with thieve's tools at range. It specifies that a sleight of hand check will make these actions unnoticed, so RAW you still manage to snatch up the bow even if the guard notices something wangling his belongings. I think RAI the limit on interacting with worn containers is more in the case of unwilling creatures, but I don't have any tweets or sage advice to back this interpretation up. Additionally controlling the hand falls under Cunning action (lets you use a bonus action for some stuff that is normally an action,) and you can make the hand invisible (no-brainer for pick pocketing the weapons of guards RAI.) As the hand is fairly weak and presumably plenty visible when cast without the Legerdemain feature I think you'd need a little extra help to pull it off. Have the hand go all Addams Family Thing and scamper between buckets and other floor doodads with a stealth check maybe? [/QUOTE]
