Ok here I am disarming with my cursed weapon. My cursed weapon gets dropped because I failed my check horribly for disarm? das not cool

Is too cool.

or else, there would be no penality for disarm, you could do it all day without risk. Thats not cool.

Hence, you can drop cursed weapons.

Even if you couldn't drop your weapon when trying to disarm, there'd still be the penalty of losing attacks when fumbling your weapon, Gargauth.

I'm all for making cursed weapons !disarm and !drop when disarming.

I think if you fail disarm that badly with a cursed weapon, you should drop it into your inventory. That way you still drop it, as in you dont wield it, but it doesnt hit the ground, since its cursed.

I always kind of looked at as if instead of disarming, I got disarmed. To think that just because a weapon's cursed that it couldn't possibly be FORCED from my hand is kind of silly. Cursed weapons are a good thing for us, not exactly a curse, so that just means I'm careful about where I disarm and which weapon I use in specific situations. I lost my etched to a disarm because I was at work and didn't have all my triggers on this system... but if I'd been paying attention I never would have lost it. Not much reason to grouse about it, it was my fault I didn't pick it back up.

I echo Ashiwi's perspective regarding disarm. Consider if you were the mob being disarmed. If some punk mob was disarming me and my weapon fell you can rest assured that I would give him a fierce b*tchslap in an attempt to recover my weapon.

Also, if you consider the effort/skill required to parry AND disarm a mob you can quickly see how difficult it would be to hold your weapon. This might be akin to driving a manual transmission vehicle while making a u-turn and taking on a cell phone with no headset.

I am still waiting for a zone with mobs that disarm PCs and headbutt *accuse area immorts*.

Disarm is way too uber powerful given the bug that currently co-exists with it.

When you curse something, it is basically magic super-glue...it wont come off of you. If they can force it out of your hand by a disarm, why cant i force it out of my hand to make it drop on the ground? or have one of my friends pry it out of my hand instead of having to uncurse it or myself...the logic fails, it should be changed but never will. This has come up way to many times and will be trashed as usual.

You get disarmed, the sword gets knocked out of your hand. You can unwield a cursed weapon cant you? You just cant drop it. This is why i think its stupid that cursed weapons hit the floor. You get disarmed, and your sword is cursed, your weapon falls into your inventory. This should also apply to mobs. If i disarm dranum, his ebony should fall into his inventory, not to the floor.

two points i def. agree is, cursed weapon should drop into inventory and if u can drop cursed weapon by failing disarm badly, u should be able to force drop cursed weapon.
i just found it odd coz i never disarmed using cursed weapon b4.

shake thanuk because dranum not initiating the disarm with you.

cursed weapons...

you refuse to change weapons leave it ect... you can most of the times unwield it depending on the curse.

Its like the guy with the ratty backpack, hes carried it for 10 years its worn out, has holes, the zippers don't work, he puts it down, but he might beat you over the head if you tried to take it from him.

i disagree, cuz you can disarm a cursed weapon from a mob, why shoudn't your weapon be able to fall the same way?

i believe that rule should also apply to mobs, so you cant twink cursed weapons by disarming mobs. so if u disarm them, it drops into their inventory.

Disarm is fine how it is. Get it to 90 and you wont drop it at all. I'm sure it was just intended for you not to fumble, end of story.

I would have to agree. I have my disarm maxed and cant tell you when I last dropped a weapon to a disarm.

From a realism standpoint, this is absolute bull.

I have done it, in reality, with and against a variety of weapons.

The fact remains, if you can drop during a disarm, you should at least be able to put the item in your bag. Somebody forcing a weapon out of your hand has !special physics behind it, it is all a matter of force. Given this, you should also be able to exert this amount of force to put it in your bag.

On a side note, Mobs that pick up their weapons when blind is just retarded and needs to go...If they can do it, why cant I? Because I cant see my weapon? Heh, Whatevah!
