And the time it takes to do it is irrelevent because the text tells you how to use sunder.ORIf there is a discrepency (your assumption)The rule for sunder states you can use a melee attack to strike a weapon, and since on an attack of opportunity you can make a melee attack by the rule of sunder, you could use sunder to do an attack of opportunity. But (and this is only a claim by you) you can only use the special attack sunder if you have a standard action. That creates a discrepency, as the rule in the text would allow you to use it for things like an attack of opportunity. And as per errata, if there is a discrepency, you go by the text.So the discrepency would be, the rule and text of sunder says you have the option on a melee attack, and there are more ways than a standard action to get a melee attack *vis-a-vie aoo's*.Either way seems to suggest you can sunder on an attack of opportunityIf you disagree refer to the earlier post then, where if you are using your standard action to activate the special attack - sunder. The raw for sunder only give you the option to make a melee attack against a weapon or shield. It doesnt give you the melee attack to do soDeduced from - You can make a melee attackNot When you sunder you make, or even As a sunder you make a melee</blockquote>
