High powered apportation => disarm

[ryak]

I think it would be interesting to allow a fairly high powered apportation to take the weapon right out of an enemy's hand. It makes sense thematically and shouldn't be a problem with the interface since you can just target the spell at an enemy instead of an item.

[ryak]

Alright, make it a new spell then. Level 3 or 4. Only succeeds if your spell power beats a moderately difficulty check.

Someone suggested it as an hexes spell. So maybe hexes/translocation. Seems powerful on some monsters. Especially combined with the future ash power to id monster equipment.

I believe the main use of polymorph other is to disarm opponents, isn't it?

[OneTrueFelid]

The main use of polymorph other, to me, is to turn a jelly into a (relatively) harmless gnoll. That, and to piss players off. <.<; Sometimes literally.

[ryak]

Pretty much the same. I mainly use polymorph other to eliminate monsters with particular characteristics i can't or don't want to deal with, such as jellies.

Using it as a method of disarming is neither intuitive, nor (after seeing it suggested) something i would be willing to try very often since things i want to disarm strongly correlate to things i don't want to make even stronger.

I believe danr was speaking figuratively.
