I am running a Tabaxi rogue that is currently 4th level.

In a recent fight, purely to piss off the leader of a band of thugs, my character ran in the 20ft and lifted his gold pouch (lucky roll 19, for a total of 26), then proceeded to bonus action disengage. The feline agility racial ability allows me to double speed for a round, so was able to disengage to a distance of 40ft.

The DM was totally ok with this, I didn’t actually do any damage and I “wasted” my turn for flavor and fun.

I get that you can’t use slight of hand to perform a disarm, but what is are your thoughts on lifting daggers/arrows/spell components etc…which are not being held by an enemy?

This could be very OP if I’m allowed to steal a wizards components pouch, rendering them significantly less of a threat.

    Exactly, you should be able to use disarm to remove an important item from a wizard. I see that as no different than taking the sword from a fighter.
