It is widely known that sunder is a trap.
Consider the following simple houserule:
Destroyed items are merely unusable. They retain their magic properties in a dormant state, and when repaired, become usable magic items again. Single use or charged items are explicit exceptions: if destroyed, they cannot be repaired.
Without going into the mechanics of permanently destroying items, does the above house-rule make sundering a viable tactic? If so, how does it compare to other core combat options?
