I decided the logical thing to do would be to attempt to disarm him, despite not having Improved Disarm.The first 3 times he hit me with the attack of opportunity, dealing me damage and ruining the disarm attempt. The 4th time I managed to disarm him - only for the villain to re-gather the rod as a free action on his turn and continue as if nothing had happened. (It was a pre-written adventure, but I think the DM might have given me a hint that I was wasting my time.)I've never tried a combat manoeuvre in 3.x since, unless I had the appropriate feat.</blockquote>
