So the goblins will kill the sword faster than they will kill the fighter. Chances are they could do it in one round in fact if they all attacked it. And you have already established that people in the world are too stupid to carry spare weapons. So the fighter with no sword is neutralised - the goblins can finish him off at their leisure.If it's an effective tactic it would be unrealistic for the goblins not to use it.If it's not an effective tactic for the goblins, then it's not an effective tactic for the monk. You can't have it both ways. It's ether effective, and everyone does it, or ineffective, and no one does it.</blockquote>
