[QUOTE="LowSpine, post: 4293450, member: 60239"] There was some reference to 20 pounds being a strength of 2. That refers to a whole body, not just a hand. I would just rule that it can do anything the wizard can do physically with one hand (Grab above is a one hand physical action) but with range and use Arcana, Intelligence and Will instead of strength and Fortitude/Reflex where appropriate. All this does is give range to anything the wizard can do anyway (one handed). I would also rule that complicated actions are prohibited such as picking a lock as the level of control of the Mage Hand does not make this practical. I would say the same of doing anything such as an attack. Mage Handing a dagger will not have as effective attack and damage as holding the dagger - hence the 1d2/1d3 max damage above. Another thing that I would rule is that any action with the Mage Hand would have a penalty to the action -1 to -4 depending on the circumstances. Other than range it should always be easier to try an action with your hand than a Mage Hand. [/QUOTE]
