Your opponent’s weapons are viable targets of their own for your advances
Prerequisites Disable Device 3 ranks, one Mangled Gear stance known.
Benefits When you initiate a martial strike, you may choose to target a piece of equipment that an opponent is holding rather than the opponent itself. Any damage is applied to the object, while any additional effects (such as conditions or ability damage) are applied to the wielder. This ability does not provoke an attack of opportunity, but counts as a sunder attempt for feats like greater sunder and Mangled Gear Overload. In addition, you may make sunder attempts against flat-footed creatures without provoking attacks of opportunity.
