Sundering? Underrated?

[diaglo]

If you only nick it a bit, you can repair it via crafting.

why would i steal someone's weapon for just a little while and then return it to them repaired?

Tactics

Monk + imp disarm + spring attack= weapon stolen and run. (just gets better and better as the character gets higher in level, using the hustle action to double your speed can result in 180 feet of distance between you and the opponent)
Same tactic with adamantine ki strike and sunder.
The old trip and disarm combo. (heavy flail or spiked chain type weapon, trip, then use the free attack to disarm. 2 move actions to get back to where your opponent was)

Because then you'll be all inside their heads, man. They won't know what to expect next!

Actually, it is even more flexible than Hyp's quote indicates. Not only can you decide what type of attack actions to make on the fly, in most cases the combatant can take one attack at full BAB then decide based on the result whether to follow through and complete a full attack or do a Move Action instead. (There are potential limitations if you took a 5' step first, or are using Flurry of Blows or TWF feats.)

The Trip + Disarm combo is pretty cool. But if you are going for style why not go whole hog and take that weapon, then Spring Attack away?

My monk has both improved disarm and improved sunder, I break the stuff that doesnt look cool, and I disarm the stuff that does. If I disarm it, I then toss it over to the fighter. We find out quickly if its awesome or not

I dont see the problem. Good luck sundering my arms, legs, knees, head, and such, too.

Seeten, you must have some other feats that help with the sunder - otherwise a monk's unarmed attack is not as good as just about any magical adamantine weapon.

 

[Seeten]

If its magical and adamantine, I'll be disarming it
