Are knuckle and claws supposed to allow you a disarm?

You can disarm someone when using claws but not when using knuckles or spiked knuckles.

Seems to me there's an argument that could be made for spiked knuckles working with disarm too.

No, I disagree. The spikes on spiked knuckles are short, which is enough to turn it from a bashing weapon into a piercing weapon. But it does not give you any leverage to disarm.

All you have to do is block the weapon with the metal band on one hand and punch them in the hand with the spiked band on the other. Most people will release their weapon when you break the bones in their hand.

Just saying.

Random thought disarm vs non disarmable items should decrease accuracy for a round or two of combat. AKA you strike at their weapon causing them to be off balance.

Disarm usually results from slipping your weapon into their swing and twisting their weapon in a way their hand can't grip it any more. Some weapons are inherently harder to disarm.
