Martial Disarm and Weapons

[Vanguard]

Hey Steve, Something came up in our game last night that I was curious about.

 

I looked around and couldn't find the answer so I thought I'd ask here.

 

A Ranged Martial Disarm uses the DCs of the weapon fired plus +3 DCs from the maneuver itself. Which, using the proper weapon is pretty burly.

 

What I'm curious about and couldn't find the answer on, is whether or not the DCs of a HtH weapon would apply the same way using a normal Martial Disarm.

 

Thanks

No. Martial Disarm uses the character's STR; if he's wielding a weapon at the time that has no additional effect (unless some additional effect is bought as an ability for the weapon, of course).
