[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 212426, member: 545"] First of all pulling it out of the sheath is a MEA for the fighter, so it definitely will be for the goblin, too, if the DM is generous. Touching it at all is a striking an object. I would not assume just because because you touch something you get your hand firmly grasped on it. So big minuses there. How I would do it: I would model this as a Striking an Object (provoking AoO) at the hilt with a -6 penalty to get a firm hold. Then the goblin needs to spend a MEA to draw the weapon. So if the goblin's timing is bad he finishes his turn with his hand on the sword still in the hilt. The fighter would drop his spear and also make a strike an object roll to get a good grasp on the sword. I would give him big bonuses and not provoke an AoO. Now I would let them make opposed disarm rolls to decide who gains control of the sword. [/QUOTE]
