Disarm

Disarm as melee attack; opposed attack roll; +4 if two-handing.

The character can knock weapons from an enemy's grasp. As a melee attack, the character may attempt to disarm an opponent. Both combatants make opposed attack rolls. The attacker gains +4 if wielding a two-handed weapon or -4 if using a light weapon. On success, the defender's weapon lands 1d4 squares away in a random direction.

Notes

Combat Action / Effect Script Id: Disarm

Special: The defender may choose to drop their weapon voluntarily to avoid the opposed roll. If the disarm succeeds by 5 or more, the weapon lands at the attacker's feet instead of a random square. Unarmed characters cannot be disarmed. If the attacker fails by 5 or more, the attacker's weapon is dropped instead.
