[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 485985, member: 3146"] Yet another reason to wear a locked gauntlet. . . . +20 sounds really impressive but trying to disarm a greatsword will still be difficult: +12 Size (tiny-small-medium-large=3 sizes different), most likely at least a +2 difference in BAB, most likely at least a +2 difference in strength bonusses, +1 for weapon focus, and at least +1 for masterwork/magic=+18 in the fighter's favor. In most cases, I would see the non-melee focussed wizard with only a slightly better than even shot at this even without the fighter wearing a locked gauntlet. And the wizard will probably get clocked with an AoO for his trouble. The tactic will work much better for fighter/wizard types (hasted=true strike, disarm and then pick up the weapon) or wizard/monks (who are likely to have more BAB and strength bonus--and to have a higher AC that may enable them to avoid suffering from the AoO).
