A New Power - OOC

[Angcuru]

It's simple. Jorran made a disarm attempt and failed. That allows Kal a free attempt to disarm Jorran, which he failed. Kal's disarm attempt was the attack of opportunity. His agile riposte does not apply, as this was a disarm attempt, not a melee attack. Also, the agile ripost only applies when the attacker misses his attack. Since Kal was wielding his lightsabet 1-handed, he did not recieve the 2-hand bonus of +4.

So far it has been:

Jorran hits Kal
Kal misses Jorran
Jorran fails to disarm Kal
Kal fails to disarm Jorran
Kal's turn

Agile riposte applies when the opponent fails an attack, allright.

But, even if it suceeds, a disarm is an attack action that PROVOKES an attack of opportunity. Only an attacker with the Improved Disarm (page 111) doesn´t generate an Aoo.

As a side note: do you find annoying all this rule discussion? Please tell me if it's so, and I'll stop...

 

[Angcuru]

No, I don't find it annoying. It's good to clarify things.

Yes, a failed disarm provokes a counter-disarm attack. However, according to the wording on page 169 and 111, an attack of opportunity is only available if the disarm is made against a ranged weapon.

 

[P0L]

Ah, I stand corrected. It seems that attempting to disarm someone with a melee weapon DOESNT draw an Aoo, only when you are using a ranged weapon.

Did I get it right?

 

[Angcuru]

Yeah. Attacking melee draws a disarm attempt if failed. Attacking a ranged weapon with disawm draws an AOO.

 

[Galethorn]

Ok, so now am I stunned (and therefore dropped my saber, and can't really do anything), or am I just 'Fatigued' like you always are when you take wound damage?

 

[Angcuru]

Stun damage as in subdual. I'll be more clear on this in the future.

 

[Angcuru]

When you posed:

- It was a great fight! Thanks!

Pol, was this OOC or IC, so I know when I'm doing the story hour.

 

[P0L]

In character.
For ooc i use:

ooc: Ooc talk

 

[Angcuru]

Galethorn, if Jorran wants to stop Kia from moving his lightsaber just say so and I'll see if the dice allow it.
