Hoping for a little clarification on how exactly this weapon trick works. The trick doesn't specifically state that it targets Avoidance. Is it: #1 Attack vs. Avoidance and roll damage, if original attack roll bypasses passive Melee skill then they are disarmed OR #2 Attack vs. Avoidance and roll damage. If Attack roll hit, then roll again vs. passive Melee skill. OR #3 Attack vs. Passive Melee, if hit then disarmed and roll damage Thanks folks |

I'm almost positive it's either #1 or #3 but I'm not sure which one... |

I lean towards #1. You hit and do damage - and the damage (or the strike) also might make your foe drop his or her weapon. Definitely 1 roll (ie not #2). Not sure if the -6 penalty (see disarm from 311) would apply to the comparison vs. pass melee. The wording under Attack: "Special, see effect" is not clear to me either. I agree with Accurier that a ruling would help. |

This is perhaps not as well worded as it should be; but the intent is that you perform a regular attack. If that attack hits avoidance, it deals the weapon damage (hence, Weapon under the effect). If the same attack also meets the test for disarming the foe, then your foe is disarmed. |
