(as per Rhishisikk's suggestion here:)
Ranged Disarm
Prerequisites: Int 13, BAB +6, Improved Disarm, Point Blank Shot or Careful Targeting (1)
Benefit: You can perform a disarm maneuver as a ranged attack. The target must within 30 feet of your position when you make the combat maneuver check and when you perform the attack. When you are targeted by a ranged disarm maneuver, the DC of the maneuver is increased by 2.(2)
Normal: Disarming can only be performed in melee.
Justification
(1) I suggest a ranged disarm to be a very difficult maneuver and the prerequisites should reflect it. Ranged disarm maneuvers should be accessible to ranged combatants who have additional ranged combat training and a better idea than most about melee disarm techniques. Note that this last argument is not applicable to ranged feint maneuvers, which rely to a large extent on a mental trick (Bluff). See here
(2) I'm assuming that if you are better at disarming, you are also better at resisting disarm attempts.
