Rules Update: Disarm

This skill allows a character to disarm an opponent’s weapon, or to retain her weapon when struck by an opponent’s Disarm. To disarm an opponent by using a melee attack, you must strike the opponent’s weapon that you wish to disarm.  To disarm an opponent by using a ranged attack, you must strike anywhere on the opponent’s body.  If the weapon is wielded in one hand, the opponent must drop the weapon and cannot pick it up for five seconds. Weapons that are held two-handed may not be disarmed with this skill. To use this skill to retain your weapon when struck by an opponent’s Disarm, simply call Retain in response to the attack and continue to wield your weapon. You can use this skill to disarm or retain - not both - once per period.
