Basically the same, but with slightly clearer wording.

yep 

No, Eric, you can't shove people off of a cliff like in BG3, it's right here, SEE?!

Reusing the Magic Hand was a bonus action, now it is an action.

I need a rule clarification. Can mage hand steal an object from another creature, when you're character is not an arcane trickster?

I don't think so, no. Picking someone's pocket or otherwise stealing something off of their person goes beyond "manipulating an object" and into the area of making a Sleight of Hand check, which is not one of the things the spell says it can do. As you point out, the Arcane Trickster subclass does have a feature that allows this, though.

 It was always an action unless you were playing an arcane trickster.

I have four words for you: mage hand particle accelerator 

Does mage hand allows me to sneak attack by standing bebind an enemy? Or have to use "help" or something?

As arcane trickster... Honestly, mage hand should be able to shot a gun xD, i mean, up ton10 lb, gun is 3 lb, bro i can pickpoecket you with expertise with this hand, but press the trigger is to hard... And dont tell me trigger are crazzy hard to pull, thats now, for security, not in done or when guns were created... I understand not been able to attack with dagger, sword or punches couse lack of strength, but bro, pull the trigger, common gimme that...

The hand isn't a creature, so it being adjacent to an enemy doesn't enable Sneak Attack. It also can't take the Help action, because again, it's not a creature.

The spell description tells you what the hand can do.

 what?

If the hand can interact with objects, does that mean it could block an arrow, or stop a creature if it runs into it?

It can't block an arrow, because it can only act when you use your action to make it act; it can't react to things happening on other people's turns.

It can't stop a creature that runs into it, because the spell doesn't say it can do that (and because a creature is not an object).

Cool hand

Can somebody clarify this for me? So the spell says “The hand lasts for the duration. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.” So if you have an ability that increases the range of Mage Hand(like the Stronger Telekinesis ability of the Psykinetic subclass for the Psion class, which at the time of writing (October 2025) is still UA but you get my point), that ability functionally does nothing right? Because Mage Hand specifically states that you can’t have it more than 30ft away from you?  PLEASE SEND HELP!!!!!!

(sorry for the wording, words aren’t a strong suit of mine)

A very strict reading of the rules might say that, yes, though it's pretty clear that the intent of that ability is to increase both the casting range and the range the hand can be away from you.

The updated version of the Telekinetic feat from the 2024 Player's Handbook had a similar problem. In April 2025 they released some errata that updated the description of that feat such that it explicitly increases the distance the hand can be away from you. I would treat the Psykinetic's ability the same way in practice, and they may well update it before it actually gets published. Responding to the Psion UA survey and giving this as feedback would be a good idea.

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it

No problem!
