Re: Question on Disarm and Ready Weapons
Quote:
While giving it another thought I came up with another example. Here it gets quite obvious that the weapon is ready during the Ready maneuver. Think of two opponents facing each other. Green uses a weapon that becomes unready after each attack. Red uses a 'normal' weapon that doesn't become unready. Read the example as follow: y-axis, first row: Maneuvers of Green and his Defenses y-axis, second row: alternating Turns y-axis, third row: Maneuvers of Red and his Defenses x-axis: Time Code:
no Parry weapon is Maneuver Green: Attack unready Ready Parry Attack Turns: Green(1) Red(1) Green(2) Red(2) Green(3) Maneuver Red: Parry Attack Attack - - - - - - - - - t i m e - - - - - - - > Thank you The Benj for the enlightenment. |

It's (I believe) why the good Doctor revised the way that Concentration for spells, to avoid this kind of "I stabbed you before you could do that!", "No you didn't, I cast my spell!" sort of cowboys and Indians hoo-ha. |

Re: Question on Disarm and Ready Weapons
[QUOTE=mook]Perfectly fine workaround Verjigorm - unfortunately, the examples are meant to illustrate the Basic set rules-as-written, no more no less, so adding in a house rule isn't really an option for me. Thanks though. : )
[QUOTE] Uh, I'm pretty sure my solution is RAW. Attempting to draw a weapon in Close Combat requires a DX roll. If the hand or limb is grappled, then it's at -4 to DX. Therefore by RAW, you would be able to attack, grapple the hand(or arm) and make it hard to draw a weapon.

I think the better tactic would be to grapple the foe as they attempt to get their sword. If you succeed, they suffer -4 dex, and they can't use a sword anyways. Unless they draw out a knife, which I think they have difficulty doing anyways. I don't know, I need to look at the rules again. |

Re: Question on Disarm and Ready Weapons
Ah, good to know! (Though insofar as the examples I'm working on go, I'm trying to restrict to Basic set only for the moment).
