Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player's Guide

Your critical hits can sunder your foes’ weapons.

Feat Type(s)

Combat

Prerequisites

Str 13
Improved Sunder
Power Attack
base attack bonus +9

Benefit

Whenever you score a critical hit with a melee attack, you can sunder your opponent’s weapon, in addition to the normal damage dealt by the attack. If your confirmation roll exceeds your opponent’s CMD, you may deal damage to your opponent’s weapon as if from the sunder combat maneuver (roll normal damage to the weapon separately). This does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Special

You can only apply the effects of one of the following feats to a given critical hit: Bull Rush Strike, Disarming Strike, Repositioning Strike, Sundering Strike, or Tripping Strike. You may choose to use this feat after you make your confirmation roll.

Normal

You must perform a sunder combat maneuver to sunder an opponent’s weapon.
