[QUOTE="Kibou, post: 5370628, member: 98020"] I lately had a discussion with my DM about critical rolls on disarm attempts. His point of view: An "opposed attack roll" is, by definition, an "attack roll". Thus, a critical hit will count as instant success, even if the opponent's roll is higher. My point of view: "Opposed attack role" does not equal "attack role". Also, the rules say an opposed attack roll should be performed and the one with the higher result wins. Since taking critial rolls into account would constrict this rule (by allowing someone to win with a lower result), I would expect it to be explicitly mentioned in the rule. Another thing that only came to my mind after the discussion: If you apply the "attack roll" critical rule, that means a critical hit needs to be confirmed with another roll - which is obviously not possible if you didn't surpass the opponent's result with a 20 in the first place. How does it really work? Does a critical roll have any effect in an disarm attempt? Does it have to be confirmed? Does it have to be a 20, or a roll within the crit range of the used weapon? Thanks a lot! :) [/QUOTE]
