unattened Objects (Grab and Go feat)


Rules Questions


Howdy

The grab and go feat features the ability to grab unattended items quickly
'Benefit: As a free action, you can pick up an unattended item as part of a movement. Picking up the item does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If you have Throw Anything, you can pick up a number of closely gathered items that could be held in one hand (such as dishes from a stack of plates) equal to your Dexterity modifier (minimum 1). You must have a hand free to use this feat'

Is there a rules specific unattended object definition? I'm trying to figure out this sort of deal will swing. Its easy enough when its just a handful of rocks. but what if we're heading into say a ball room and I have junk or whatever. I cannot pull them out. So I guess I'd have to scatter them before hand. or spend an action to
draw items to drop.
As I assume you are not your own unattended possessions. So dropping a bandolier of things to the floor, then plug the throwables as part of the move away?

Secondary question is if Splash Weapons like the vials would count? Plates are larger and more awkward IMO than several vials and such. but I can see mileage will probbly vary

(object): The spell can be cast on objects, which receive saving throws only if they are magical or if they are attended (held, worn, grasped, or the like) by a creature resisting the spell, in which case the object uses the creature's saving throw bonus unless its own bonus is greater.

An unattended object would be an object on a tabletop, shelf, floor, or the like.

This is very much a 'Jackie Chan' feat (as Checkov once wrote, a gun put on a table in the beginning of the scene must be thrown at someone before the end of the scene).

Just note that using the feat usage is 'As a free action, you can pick up an unattended item as part of a movement' so when you pick up multiple items you still can't full attack with them the same round as you've presumably spent your move action already.

As for splash weapons, I'd probably say no a they aren't designed to 'stack' like dishes are, but that's a GM call.


What's the end goal here? To full attack with thrown weapons?
