Good day all.
I've been lurking on this board for a while now, but it's time I make my presence known for I have a question.
The striking of an opponents weapon confuses me somewhat. I understand the basic concept:
1) Defender gets an AoO (unless the attacker has Sunder)
2) Make an opposed attack roll.
3) if the attacker wins, deal damage to the weapon.
Now, it's step 2 which isn't entirely clear to me. Is the attack roll for the defender made as if he were using the weapon attacked? What if a shield was attacked instead? Or what if the attacked weapon is a ranged weapon, like a bow. Exactly what bonuses is the defender entitled to?
(The bonuses the attacker gets are pretty obvious; it's his attack action after all.)
Thanks in advance,
Hof
