AnonymousI’m surprised nobody talked about how you can reverse pickpocket the mage hand so that it’ll already have items to throw in its inventory

It appears Elixirs now last only 10 turns, effectively eliminating any value this subclass skill had

- it can perform unarmed strikes Its bad
- it can throw items. Its quite bad at it with +2 modifier. Bigger problem however is lack of inventory. Both of those can be worked around with grenades on the ground. Either prepare battlefield in advance or drop from inventory. It doesnt cost anything
- does not expire
- enables sneak attacks
- doesnt appear to reenter invisibility, ever
- athletics/str modifier 0
- it appears that it can shove chests further away than throw them

You can drop items from inventory as free action in combat for hand to throw.

Use Trickster to sneak around and *place* a pile of grenades on the ground for the hand to then throw during combat, or a backpack full of grenades as a satchel charge jic things go wrong as the ultimate insurance policy

What does it use for the strength ability score? Would a STR rogue have a super strong mage hand?

it has the throw action but how can you equip something to throw?

according to 5e you should be able to pickpocket and disarm trap with that. Additionally with the arcane trickster you should always have prepare that cantrip and get another additional 2 at level 3. At the moment you can choose to not have mage hand at all and it brakes the class

What are the additional tasks? Currently can only make it do the same as regular mage hand

I think people are way harder on this ability than it deserves. Its a free sneak attack for AC which is definitely worth it. "People are like what good is it?" It optimizes damage without using any spells or buffs. There are some other interesting things you can do that I am reading here like reverse pickpocketing some throwing weapons or dropping some grenades on the field. Its not in your face obvious how good it is but its good enough for making arcane trickster pretty strong. Way less finagling with positioning for sneak attacks. Especially if you summon mage hand outside of combat
