Driving Attack+Disarm

[Iron Angel]

Title, does this work? If I make a successful disarm attempt does it count as a successful attack for Driving Attack, meaning he drops his weapon and is thrown backward? And if so does that mean it will take him 2 turns to be able to attack me again, because he has to run up to his weapon with one move and pick it up with a second?

Bump, I'd like to know before tonight's session.

My understanding is that no, that won't work. Just because Driving Attack requires you to take a full-round action making a single attack roll for the purposes of driving them backwards, and a Disarm involves opposed attack rolls and an AoO. That's what it sounds like to me, based on the wording. Although that would be excellent if it did work together.

Alright, thats sort of what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure. Thanks for the answer!
