I think it's peculiarly inconsistent for it to be easy to accidentally break 
your own sword but hard to deliberately break your opponent's. If a sword can 
be broken by an accidental miss-and-slam-into-something-hard, then it ought to 
be breakable by a grab-opponent's-wrist-and-stomp-on-blade maneuver. 

It should be easier to break a weapon deliberately than it is to break it 
accidentally. In particular, it should be possible to break a weapon without 
having to use some special device or buying some special talent. These things 
aren't needed for accidentally breaking a weapon, so they shouldn't be needed for 
deliberate weapon-breaking either. 

I wouldn't make as easy as I proposed in my earlier post - but then I don't 
use the "break on a roll of 18" rule either.
