Shouldn't that be the case with disarming anyway? That you have the called shot rules, in play.. |
I use a called shot type of thing for range attacks to disarm (like shooting a blaster out of someone's hand).

More doable for long range attacks, like a blaster or sniper shot. Up close and personal for melee attacks... |

The defender can then either substitute their own Parry roll (normal reaction) or stack it (full reaction). Obviously some form of modifier should be applicable to the defender’s Parry; +10 works, but if you prefer a D code, then something in the +2D range works. |
If this rule was to mimic an aspect of how disarming works in historical swordsmanship, CRM's really on the right track. For game balance reasons, I agree that the defender should have a bonus.

I suggested elsewhere taking a page from Open D6 and going with 1/2 of the Reaction skill value (generated in the same method as Strength Damage in Open D6).
So, say a character has 4D Melee Parry. For the purposes of this rule, they'd only get to roll 2D, which would then stack with whatever the Base Difficulty is.

A friendly mechanical suggestion: Halving the roll is better than halving the skill dice to make the roll. Just sayin'.
EDIT: Added a left out letter in a misspelled word that changes the meaning of the statement.
