Catching
Etched into a shield, this rune turns a well-timed Shield Block into a chance to rip the attacker's weapon straight out of their grip.
Nethys Note: This rune was not reprinted in the remastered Treasure Vault book.
A catching rune creates a small, magical vacuum that attempts to pull weapons away from opponents. If you can attempt to Disarm as part of a Shield Block, such as with the Disarming Block feat or this rune's activated ability, a catching shield grants you a +1 circumstance bonus to such Disarm attempts.
