CM-question: Disarm

[Denalor]

If you choose this CM, do you

a) Roll normal damage and apply it to your foe and additionally disarm him

OR

b) Only disarm him

 

[kurgan84]

I think it is A) but if the opponent successfully parry (Critical vs success) the damage is reduced based on the size of his weapon !

 

[Denalor]

Sorry, wasn't too clear here.

Yes, of course, reduction to the damage from parry or whatever does apply

You injure and disarm him.

For example, your blow strikes his wrists or hands; or your sword pommel hits him in the face, or your your blade cuts across his stomach and his natural reaction is to drop his weapon to hold his guts in.

However, you may want to give the player the option of not hurting the opponent if the intention is to purely disarm. RAW then you'd roll damage too, but you don't have to... remember, a disarmed opponent is at a serious disadvantage and it could be good opportunity to secure a ransom or some other advantage from letting your opponent live.

The Vadeli don't generally like buying damaged goods... well, not too damaged at least.

They like doing that themselves.
