Pole Arms (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

Pole arms are reach weapons similar to spears. Unlike spears they don't have only a single point and instead have some combination of a point, hook, blade, hammer, or axe at the head. Infantry weapons, pole arms are very effective in large formations but most are also useful in personal combat.

Pollaxe

Often confused with the longer halberd, a pollaxe is abut man high, with a heavy weapon head and a shaft reinforced or even entirely made of metal. It is an elite weapon used by knights and guards. The fighting style somewhat like a quarterstaff, employing the staff to parry.
