On axes and maces, this is a worthwile tactic. Versus swords, it is a bit longer, but it works also.

LOL. You reminded me of the time when one has his Great axe destroyed that way. With no backup weapon or shield, the character was in a bind. He survived, but developed the habit of putting Protection on his Axe during combat. Sometimes it was better protected that he was.

And in RQIII, the broadsword and the scimitar (the most common 1 handed swords) are impaling weapons. I have already lost (and recovered later) several time my sword that way.
I know it is not mandatory to use one's sword that way, but the impale bonus is often too tempting.

Well, most character I've seen carry some back up, if only a dagger. Since a backup sword is only 1-2 ENC, why skimp. Better to take the 2 FP hit.
Implaing weapons usually weren't a problem for us. Most of the time there way a conveniently placed body lying on the ground who just dropped his weapon.
Unless you are being double teamed or worse (bad news in RQ), you usually have time to retrieve your own weapon too.
Impaled and still a threat didn't come up that often. Stuck in a shield was the big nightmare.
