How on earth does a roll like this happen?

[Roll result: -938 (open d100: 58) Penalties: 16]

57 Warrior with 11 ranks disarm vs (presumably post-cap) Warrior disarm master.

At worst, it's what, 88 skill points of combat maneuvers, 52 ranks of disarm, a bonus 11 phantom disarm ranks from the level/4 bonus warriors (used to?) get on their guild skills. Plus enhancives?

Where is the other -750 or so coming from? Curious, not angry.

Level modifier of some sort, i would wager.

Level, skill training, or stat bonus issues (+ or -). Encumbrance could also be a factor in some cases. Neg open rolls too.

The CML is hugely level-dependant, moreso than any other roll in the game.

If you really want to become disgusted with CML mechanics, try disarming a capped sorcerer who has 0 CM ranks with your level 57 warrior. You'll get about the same result.

I thought the whole point of GS4 was to take level out of the equations. That's silly.

Funny I became disgusted with CML period when I watched a halfling successfully sweeping Stone Giants.
