'''Strike a Weapon'''

You can use a melee attack with a slashing or bludgeoning weapon to strike a weapon or [[shield]] that your opponent is holding.

The attacking weapon must be no more than one size category smaller
than the weapon attacked. (Treat a buckler as Small, a small [[shield]] as
Medium-size, a large [[shield]] as Large, and a tower [[shield]] as Huge.)

Doing so provokes an attack of opportunity from the opponent
because you are diverting your attention from him to his
armaments.

Then you and the defender make opposed attack rolls. If
you win, you have landed a good blow against the defender’s weapon
or [[shield]]. Roll damage and deal it to the weapon or [[shield]] (see Strike
an Object, above).

Magic Weapons and Shields: The attacker cannot damage a
[[Magic Weapon|magic weapon]] or [[shield]] that has an enhancement bonus unless his
own weapon has at least as high an enhancement bonus as the
weapon or [[shield]] struck. Each +1 of enhancement bonus also adds 1
to the weapon’s or shield’s hardness and hit points. If your [[shield]] has
a +2 enhancement bonus, you add 2 to its hardness and to its hit
points.
