The other guy just has to close with him (using double move), which will let him close with the warlock and put him into threatening range. One round later, he has the warlock (unless he flees) and he might get an AoO before that.Not really. Viable anti-spellcaster tactic, unless it's used all the time.Even if the DM does try to disarm the fighter all the time, or uses sunder often, it won't work all that often unless most of the enemies are specialized in that sort of thing. But you don't have to be specialized in grappling to get that warlock.Your average greatsword has hardness 10 and 10 hit points, so you'd have to deal 20 points of damage to it in order to sunder it in one go. If you divide it among several attacks, you have to deal at least 11 points per hit to do anything. Now, your average level 8 fighter (just an example) might very well have an adamantine +2 greatsword. That's hardness 22 and 15 hp, which means that you have to hit it quite often (as you need at least 23 points of damage to even scratch it).So chances are, that sword will outlive its owner. Why not just kill that guy, he doesn't have hardness. Both sunder and disarm require opposed attack rolls, and fighters tend to be good at these.</blockquote>
