You might also want to add a chance that a weapon is rendered useless until a recovery attempt can be made. E.g., the weapon is stuck in something (wood, dead body, a drain grating, flew out of hand and out a window, onto a roof, into a river, or just where no one saw where it went, etc). For combat's sake, there is probably no chance to recover it, but it might be recoverable after the fight.

====================================================

Now that is a funny Idea.  I don't think I'll make a house-rule for it, but it could occasionally be a GM interpretation type of thing.  It's not as bad as breaking it, but more inconvenient than just dropping it would be.

And I see your point about all the craftsmanship in the world not keeping a sword from breaking under certain circumstances,  maybe just 2 dice then, one for each damage plus due to better metal.  

Plus, with a repair spell, a broken sword is not that big a deal once you return to civilization.

No benefit from magic though, if you enchant a cheap sword it still breaks easy, it is just magic until then.
