[QUOTE="00durrin, post: 752826, member: 6336"] actually i don't have to wield the sunblade two handed do i? that only gives a +4 for the defender weapons right? i have improved disarm and i'm planning on taking "strike at the tail" when i level up this week. strike at the tail lets me get another immediate attack if i successfully disarm (just like improved trip) so with my 3 attacks I'll 1. disarm free disarm on off hand 2. grapple (no attack of opportunity cause he has no weapon and therefore does not threaten me, right? he doesn't have improved unarmed strike) 3. pin on his turn he has to spend at least two of his attacks to escape the grapple. one to escape the pin, one to escape the grapple. that means he has to take the full attack action. so even if he does escape he can't pick up his weapon (move equivalent action). all he can do is hit me with his fist (which won't do much from a weapon master specialized in longswords). on my turn i'd just grapple him again (if he is ungrappled) stab in the clinch and finish by trying to pin. if he did somehow manage to be ungrappled on his turn, he'd have to spend a move action to pick up his weapon, and my attack of opportunity would be a grapple that would probably lock him up few questions: am i right when i said if he's unarmed he can't make attacks of opportunity? or am i making stuff up in my head? two: can you let go of a pin as a free action? three: attacking with a light weapon in a grapple. do you have to make an opposed grapple check to do it? or a regular attack roll? look at bottom of page 137 for rule. to "damage your opponent" takes a successful grapple check. but it doesn't say for weapons.
