In real life for instance a disarm is very difficult its easy and safer to deliver a single blow which takes somebody out of the fight than it is to disarm a competent enemy without injury HOWEVER that is against trope. In trope its almost always easier to make less harmful effects against an adversary, the my enemy is watching my sword so I can sneak in a punch bit for instance. A disarm in the movies might induce an enemy to dive for a weapon proning them it might do nothing more than cause them to draw one of their back up weapons and not be able to do opportunity attacks and the fictional characters are many times nearly as potent armed as not... But its far easier than in real life.Realism is not the master of D&D.. and not just because MAGIC</blockquote>
