Mage Hand could even have a shift ability based degree of success. Roll a natural 20 and the target is also pushed 5 feet.
The dagger idea is better suited to Dagger Wall or MagicMissile.
Force here is the speed of the telekinetic power.

I disagree here. There's no reason mage hand shouldn't be able to carry around a dagger and do SOMETHING with it. Even a d4 or d6 attack that scaled up to 4d4 or 4d6 isn't gamebreaking. In fact, it's not even as good as Ray of Frost in damage (1d10 to 4d10), and has half the range, and takes two rounds even to get to that half range!
Also, if the mage hand does damage itself I can see that being force damage. However, if force pushes a dagger, that's piecing and if that force throws a rock, that's bludgeoning.
Is anyone going to amend Mage Hand to be able to attack with a dagger, throw rocks, etc? I think personally at the LEAST a d4 and scale it like the other cantrips in my games. You're going to have to get creative with it to make it a better combat move than ray of frost, for example, but I want to encourage that exact creativity as thats the moments I enjoy most.

I think mage hand should be able to attack. I want to be able to project telekinetic force like Gandalf and Saurumon. I also think the weight limit should scale with level. The damaging cantrips all scale with level, so why not mage hand?

That's how I feel. I mean I love TV shows like Charmed. Prue was able to telekineticly make someone's tie choke them as well as throw them into walls. Obviously throwing someone into a wall is more than what mage hand should be able to do but throwing a rock or a dagger is creative and is within the range of weight.

Even if there was a spell like that which there might be there is no reason to use it. The current Wizard isnt designed for duals. Why have a telekinetic wrsetling match when intiatives one spell and Ray of Frost ends every dual in two rounds or less?

Because maybe something like a small telekinesis spell could be effective if its created? Personally I never chose to do anything like that since the option was never there. But honestly telekinesis is a power that has interested me since watching Charmed- well even before that with The Secret World of Alex Mack.

Do you want a lesser version of Telekenisis to be more effective than a two spell combo that causes kills in two rounds?
