Since a fired weapon takes the place of a shield, could shield disarm be made to disarm a fired weapon?
Shield disarm
I love this idea...
It's odd. You can have a weapon and a shield, or a two handed weapon and a bow, or two weapons and a bow. So if disarm removes primary weapons, and shield disarm removes shields, then offhand disarm gets the dual weapon, but what should disarm bows? Why shield disarm? Could it also then be used to disarm floaties because a floatie replaces a bow...I think each skill should stick to what it does, but maybe add a warrior lore for disarming bows, sounds like it could be useful.
I've always thought berserkers should be able to weapon cleave bows. I mean, they're weapons, after all. Of course, they'd have to be able to weapon cleave off hand weapons as well, I suppose.
Cleaving a bow sounds more useful than disarming it. Disarming a bow seems like it's effectiveness would be pretty limited to me.

no it's pretty effective:
disarm bow
sac 1.
Ah.
Why the hell did I get a mental block there, where I thought that weapons and shields were only disarmed to the inventory?
Doh. I'm an idiot.
Dey
well yeah i guess there're nodrop bows out there. i wouldnt know b/c i hate using archery skills.
I like the idea. The only bows my chars ever use anyways are norem, so I'm good with it. If you're going to allow the pansy clerics a way out on the archery, there should be a way for the warriors to disarm them.
dang good point there, son.
Warriors already have a way to stop arrows.
o ooo!!
i honestly think that bash should have a chance to destroy a bow...or body slam...i mean really, they have it slung on their back or in their hand or whatever and a 900 lbs ogre bashes into them...
would suck for anyone not archery lore...heh. but hey just a thought.

actually anyone can stop arrows.
Didn't it get updated recently that shields have a chance of blocking arrows?
i thought the point was for those with shield disarm to be able to disarm bows, which is a different issue than just blocking arrows.
The issue of disarming bows does two things. 1) it stops arrows from comming at you 2) it gives you a chance to destroy the bow also stopping arrows. If any one can stop arrows, and this change stops arrows, then what is the point of making it a lore? Or even putting in the effort to change a skill? It make sense RP wise, but I dont see how the need is that great in PK.
It wouldn't come up very often, but it would be useful in some situations.
EDIT - I'll throw one in. A monk can't block arrows with a shield, but he can shield disarm better than other classes.
I can come up with countless examples of how this cant work, there are scrolls of missile immunity and they can be blocked with shield. I am not saying this is useless, but it is not practicle. Destroying a bow is a bit different, as it has longer lasting affects but still I would hardly say that it is worth making it a lore.
I'm not sure about this whole "everybody blocking arrows thing". Perhaps shields in general have a chance to block arrows that I haven't noticed, but the recent change regarding shields and arrows was the warrior lore, meaning that only warriors with the shield block warrior lore can block arrows. So definitely not everybody, or even most people.

k..to clarify,
Anyone can stop arrows from hitting them. One scroll, nine hours, they all miss.
well anyone who can read scrolls that is.
