Crunching Metal Dent (3.5e Maneuver)

With a metallic crunch, the target's breastplate bends inwards.

Make a normal sunder attack against the target's body armor. If the armor would be destroyed, it is instead bent inwards, doubling its armor check penalty, and giving its unmodified armor check penalty as a penalty to the Strength and Dexterity of the wearer. The armor still provides armor class, and its hit points are effectively reset to full. A spell or skill check that can repair this armor removes the effects of Crunching Metal Dent.
