If that one trick is dominating your campaign, your games need more variety of foes and foes' equipment. You need monsters other than medium-sized-non-adamantine-weapon-wielding humanoids.Adamantine/Starmetal swords and maces will be popular indeed, especially amongst higher-level opponents. Dwarvencraft weapons (in Races of Stone) can be another option as it adds +2 hardness and +10 hp. Now +5 Dwarvencraft weapon made of steel or cold iron has hardness of 22 which cannot be ignored by adamantine/starmetal. +3 weapon made of mithral is another option (hardness 21).And in my experience, even against someone with not that hard weapon, it is much better to smack the opponent himself than attacking his weapon. Just do not forget to give a spare weapon or two to any warrior types (PCs typically do the same, aren't they?) Sundering opponent's weapon could be a good tactics in a duel. But that does not stop that opponent from moving and striking the PC's buddy wizard.</blockquote>
