What is the status of this product? I'm seeing it listed on Amazon for over $200! Was there some announcement I missed? Will my order be processed in the estimated time frame?

Hand of the Acolyte - what is it supposed to do (identical to the Hand of the Apprentice issues, as far as I can tell).

We were totally stumped - the listing is rather ambiguous.

It says HotA works "as Mage Hand with the following changes" - but it doesn't specify very well what is changed. I had to make a ruling, but my players weren't really happy with it.

Can HotA attack in the same round it is cast?
Can HotA move 30', or is it limited in the same way Mage Hand is to 15' of movement per round?
Can HotA move further than 30' (if possible since range on Mage Hand is 25' + 5'/2L), just not attack? Or is it limited to 30'?
When concentration is broken, how is the weapon returned? Does it warp back? As written, it can be interpreted that the Hand physically brings the weapon back - does it do so instantly, or is it limited to the the 15' movement per round?

There was MUCH discussion over this last night. I ruled that the HotA can attack the same round it is cast, but can only move 15' per round. I also ruled that the HotA must physically bring the weapon back, as it is limited by Mage Hand mechanics. My wizard was least pleased with that, and is talking about carrying multiple weapons for HotA to use in a chain like fashion.

But how does it REALLY work? What was intended? Looking for any official word here.... :/
