Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ristamar" data-source="post: 115476" data-attributes="member: 1207">There is a feat in AEG's Dragons that allows you to "Sunder" natural weapons.  Not surprisingly, it's called Sunder Natural Weapon.As for the prospect Sunder being used on attended objects to avoid AoO, I'd like to interject a personal opinion, a flavor explanation of the existing mechanics, if you will.I suppose I've always seen the Sunder feat as subtle, disguised, and/or intelligent attack placement that does not leave yourself open to blows from the defender.  If you strike at a weapon or shield with the Sunder feat, you're attempting to break (or break through) an opponents defenses.  Essentially, it almost seems like you're attacking your foe, but all you're really trying to do is smash the hell out of his sword or shield.  On top of that, he can't start waving his sword and shield all about to avoid the blows, because that would leave him wide open for an attack.On the other hand, if you start swinging at that nifty potion in his hand, it becomes obvious that you're focused on the item, not your foe, leaving you open to attacks of opportunity.Anyhow, I could understand a reasonable house rule allowing Sunder to avoid AoO's while attacking attended objects.  The fluff above is merely my personal justification as to why I do not have such a house rule.</blockquote>
