Having never played in a party with a disarming toon (though I've certainly played with my share of people with disarming character 
), I'm wondering how necessary a large weapon is.
I recently came into the Kolyarut subrace, and after talking with some people who have partied with a Disarmer, I'm left wondering how successful a medium sized character is at disarming Pit Fiends with a medium sized weapon. I am very much considering 2 weapon foci/weapon of choice, one medium and one large, the large one being for the bonus +4 I get to disarm.
However, that's only if my weapon is LARGER than my enemies. Pit Fiends are my main concern, and I assume their weapons are large (look like double bladed swords, great swords, or something similar). So if I use a medium weapon, PF's get a +4 advantage to mine, yes? And if I use a large weapon, then neither of us would be at an advantage or disadvantage, is that correct?
So I guess my questions are two-fold: is my math right, and how successful are Disarmers using medium sized toons and medium sized weapons, assuming only a caster-type bard in the party? (In other words, I would like to know how successful you are without having a Pale Master, Lasher, and Shifter using Harpy all in one party).
As always, thanks in advance.
