The character can perform a disarm maneuver that does no damage, provokes an attack of opportunity, but potentially renders the target unarmed.

The defender makes an attack roll to resist the disarm using his maximum BAB modified by his relative weapon size times 4. If the attacker meets or beats the defender's roll, the defender's main hand weapon is disarmed, knocking his on-hand item to the ground.
