Disarming with missile weapons is the rule broken?

Thanks Hyp, can you give me the page about this half damage with ranged attacks against objects? I forgot this ...

PHB p135, Damage to objects.

Weren't they in one of the first 3E Dragons?

Dunno. I'm no dragon reader.

Also remember, for disarm, size of the weapon matters. You should use an ARROW size (tiny?) not the bow size (large) for ranged disarms. thats probably going to make for a -significant penalty to the rolls

Yes. FOr Ranged Disarm/Sunder, Arrows are tiny and have a -4 for each size step the weapon being disarmed/sundered is over tiny.

Disarm that Cleric's Staff is a -12 on the opposed disarm check.

Let's not forget, the Cleric also gets +4 for using a two-handed weapon...

Thanks, smurf!

So are we to -16 on the opposed rolls? -12 for tiny vs large and -4 for staff being held two handed?

If the archer can beat the cleric on a opposed attack roll at -16, knocking the staff out of his hand seems like a good result.

-16, and a feat from Dragon magazine #274.

Note that the opposed roll to shoot a dagger (tiny, one-handed) out of somrone's hand is at no penalty, with no consequences for failure like there would be with a melee disarm (AoO and counter-disarm).
