I've actually been playing regularly since...1985. 1st Edition AD&D for years! I think the fact that there generally ARE rules for just about every (other) situation in 3.5 is what had me convinced that this instance must be in there somewhere as well. Time to come up with a decent house rule. ;)

Thanks to everyone for weighing in on this...I feel better about my lack of understanding when knowing fully about the amount of confusion in the rules. :confused: Again, back to that "example of play" - it specifically states that the spider WOULD get an AoO when you make a grab at it...

If i'm understanding things correctly (what page in the PHB/DMG is this?), a shatter spell allows a weapon to make a fortitude save to not be destroyed, and this is made with the player's save bonus, regardless of what the weapon is made of. So do magic weapons add their own +plus to the...
