Disarm's one of those things though that's tricky to balance almost no matter how the rules work. Against creatures with natural attacks it's useless (unless you allow it to literally dis-arm the opponent). Against creatures with weapons it can be almost useless (if the creature has a bunch of other weapons on it, such as a brace of spears) or OP (if it doesn't have any other weapons and now has to rely on unarmed attacks). In 3rd, I almost never saw anyone without the disarm feat even attempt it, because the odds were against them. Those with the feat rarely did anything but disarm, which could get a bit tiresome. I think the Battlemaster ability finds a sweet spot somewhere between, but that's no consolation to a rogue who wants to attempt to disarm, unless he takes the feat that gives him that ability.</blockquote>
