Combat Maneuvers and Crane Wing?


Rules Questions


Hello, does anyone know if Crane wing would deflect maneuvers such as disarm and trip? Thanks for your time!


Crane Wing allows you to deflect an attack, combat maneuvers are attacks, so as long as you are aware of it happening, deflect away.

Only weapon attacks, so disarms, trips, and sunders are OK but not the others.

Well both of us are kinda right... I forgot that it required a weapon. You can Bull Rush (and do a couple other maneuvers) using a weapon, so really the end result is...

"If the maneuver is using a melee weapon then you can deflect it."

Yes, it also works with a [Trip] weapon used for one of those other maneuvers, but usually it only works on disarms, trips, and sunders (even if they are using a natural weapon / unarmed strike for those).
