During combat a player can skillfully remove their opponent's weapon from
their grasp.  If the victim is lower level then the weapon has a chance to
fall to the ground, otherwise it will end up in the victim's inventory after
being disarmed.  It is difficult for a non-monk to disarm an opponent when
not wielding a weapon, and monks have an easier time disarming opponents
in general.  Also, your strength and dexterity, along with the opponent's,
are both factored.  Being in a defensive stance can make it much more
difficult to be disarmed.

Higher ranks greatly improve the chances of being able to disarm a strong
opponent.
