[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 1374746, member: 1368"] Ovinomancer forgets I told him where the boards are and might be reading his postings, unless he says keep out. Then I woud read without telling him ;) To tell you my interpretation. I am using the SRD as I don't have my books at work. Basically the SRD says you have to use a melee weapon to make a sunder attack, However it doesn't say anything about having o have one to defend from it. Second on the sunder information in the SRD it list Projectile weapon as a weapon that can be sundered as only shields and weapons (notice not melee weapons) can be sundered. Third It says opposed attack roll. Not Opposed Melee attack roll. Fourth the rules support my decision and logic could be argued to support either position. In the interest of keeping things simple I followed the rules. Fifth since the weapon is listed under sunderable (is that a word?) items/weapons it does not fall under attacking an object. Sixth his bonus was +22 had he treated it as just a melee weapon (even improvised he still had an exotic weapon prof in it) He woud have been at +18 still enough to beat the character's roll with what I had rolled. But more importantly, to me, it was my call. Of course, on a side note, the whole evening left a sour taste in my mouth and this disagreement was only a minor cause of that. later [/QUOTE]
