[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 3420587, member: 151"] It's usually far more effort to destroy those items than to actually smack down the fighter's weapon. If you're close enough to hit the mage, you're not going to bother with the pouch...the mage will be easier to hit (assuming said pouch is readily identifiable, targetable and that all components are in one spot). And in both the cleric and mage's case, destroying said pouch/symbol doesn't stop them from casting, necessarily. It depends on their spells currently memorized. A fighter that only has one weapon gets what he gets. Unless he's fighting nothing but weaponless enemies, he'll be armed again fairly quickly....assuming he wasn't already armed with another weapon to begin with (be it a dagger or bow or even a shield). Wulf's point was that, unless the fighter is exclusively built to only use one type of exotic weapon (spiked chain, I'm looking at YOU), he should be able to adapt accordingly....that's one of his talents, after all. Most weapons aren't going to be a 'trump' unless they're something like good, lawful, cold steel, silver or adamantine when that's all that will hurt the monster or bbeg. Otherwise, it's mostly the difference between a few points to your attack, damage or both. This is mostly felt at low levels, where those bonuses will make the most difference, but since there are fewer magic weapons then, it's not as noticable to most games. [/QUOTE]
