If the NPC has an admantine weapon its even easier (but beware as the players will probably end up with said admantine weapon after the battle). The first time I hit my players with a sunder specialist with an admantine heavy mace, they didn't really have much of an idea how to deal with it.2. Some of the oozes are very effective way to destroy PC equipment. The black pudding and gray ooze in particular. They're not to great at tacticians however, so its often good to use them in unusual situations. The black pudding is probably one of the nastiest item destroyers in the game.3. The remorhaz is another nasty customer for destroying PC weapons. My players discovered this one the hard way recently.4. While not destroying per se, disarming can be almost as effective as destroying. Especially if the NPCs pick up said weapon/item and use it against the PCs. Consider knocking a character's wand out of his/her hand after its been used and having an NPC pick it up and activate it against the party. Another point to the disarm... if the PCs are in a precarious position, such as flying or fighting from a narrow rope bridge above a massive crevasse, a disarm is about as good as a sunder at destroying things - items which aren't recoverable are as good as destroyed.5. The good old rust monster is always sure to strike fear into the hearts of fighters everywhere, even at 8th level.6. I seem to recall the Nightwalker having the ability to crush an item. Combined with a disarm attack, this could be rather cruel.Special materials are more of a factor when dealing with item destruction than magic, at least from my experience.</blockquote>
