Sundering as a concept in the game is pretty ... odd lets say. Now I can understand sundering a hafted weapon such as a spear with a sword, or a heavy flanged mace damaging a sword ... but sword on sword?Also instead of a character sitting around trying to cleave the mighty evil sword in two with his lesser weapon, wouldn't it be a whole lot cooler to take the evil blade to a High Temple of some goodly deity and they call in the High Priests to come together and lay some sort of curse on it, or exercise the evil power from it, or they give you a quest to drop it down in to a deep lake of fire deep in the mountains, or have make contact with an ancient silver dragon so he can destroy it, etc etc etc.Thats one downside I see to some of the 3.5e rules ... some people take them so seriously that they end up "ruling" the fantasy aspect right out of their fantasy game. LOL.For example in our campaign we just slew an evil fighter who carried a longsword +1 of wounding that has an evil tinge or feel to it. We were headed in to the mountains to a steadfast hold of a goodly deity. We were just going to have the clerics seal it in one of their deep vaults ... maybe lay a curse or something on it too? Who knows? But IMO, and this is just my opinion, stuff like that is a lot cooler than doing the rules-number crunching and seeing if some lesser blade can cleave the sword in two (which IMO is sort of silly too ... I'm with the old 3e rules on that one).of course thats my opinion and your mileage may vary.</blockquote>
