Sundered Weapons are BROKEN!

[IceBear]

But 3E ALLOWS called shots against objects, it's that simple.

I understand now, you don't want ANY form of called shots, whereas I don't mind called shots to objects. Maybe if it happened enough to bother me I might be onside with you, but it hasn't.

Why does everyone keep throwing the "no called shots" thing in my face?

Nice pun. Who are you, Bob Costas?

You're whole premise that the archer is protecting his bow until the he shoots is just wrong. I know that you didn't people arguing rounds with you, but that's the bottom line - the round is 6 seconds and it is simulataneous. Your archer isn't hiding the bow behind his back until it's his turn, he's busy getting ready for his next shot - hard to do that with a bow behind his back.

He also doesn't put his head behind his back, but you can't hit that now can you? Just because everything happens in the same span of six seconds doesn't mean every fight breaks down to that great shot at the end of Rocky III where Rocky and Apollo swing their fists at exactly the same time.

For every swing of a sword at your person, you take a reflexive action that prevents the attack from hitting anything vital, like your head, eyeball, bow, or sword. When you attack you bring the Sunder rules into play because your movement isn't a reaction but an action in and of itself. If someone Readies they can Sunder.

he's not waving his Pelvis around in front of you, is he?

Dear lord! I hope not!!! If he was, I could think of something much better to sunder.

 

[Xarlen]

Kreynolds, you're the Rules Pimp. Shouldn't you...uh... Be contributing more?

 

[Kai Lord]

Well, gee. You can sunder someone's Potion on his belt, and he's not waving his Pelvis around in front of you, is he?

Maybe he's just happy to see you.

I think this would fall under Sundering Wands.

Exactly. Which is why I proposed what I saw as the appropriate situation for called shots to a weapon, as well as suggesting that the DM make the call as to which rule to use for making a called shot on a non-threatening device. Because I don't want ANY form of called shots whatsoever.

I think this would fall under Sundering Wands.

Or just Favored Enemy: One-Eyed Snakes. Of course, Hong couldn't take that unless he was evil.

 

[Xarlen]

Hong generally deals with those with his Unarmed Strike and grappling. If you know what I mean. And I think you do.

Don't forget Swallow Whole (Ex).
