[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4358841, member: 19675"] Eugh! No...just...[i]No![/i] While disarming is often the end of the fight, it is not always the end of the disarmed person's actions. Frequently, disarmed foes run off and warn others, pull another weapon, pull some kind of escape, and so forth. Agreed 100% Also, I'm thinking if Errol Flynn could do it in a movie, or Grey Mouser could do it in a novel, it should probably exist in some form in a FRPG. I agree that this is probably the #1 reason...and I agree with Psychic Robot that this is a failing in the system. After all, its not just weapons that get disarmed in other games, fiction and movies, its also shields, wands, staves, keys, and just about any other thingy someone might hold. I just want to be able to do what a normal trained warrior- or one from a good adventure/fantasy movie- could do. Disarming is one of those things. Disarming is often seen as a main tactic in the most intelligent and honorable of warriors- sometimes virtually the ONLY tactic of reluctant fighters who favor pacifism and only fight when forced to do so. Its absence in 4Ed is an annoying void. [/QUOTE]
