	Though not as powerful as player-made [[Twohanded Edged skill\|twohanded edged]] weapons, halberds nonetheless fulfill a variety of roles and are good enough to be competitive with other weapon types at equal ranks. Unlike some other weapons, halberds have many "templates", and can specialize in puncture, slice, impact, or any combination of the three. They can be light or heavy, strike from pole range or melee, and some can even be [[Heavy Thrown skill\|thrown]].

	Thanks to their versatility, most players will be able to easily find a halberd that easily suits their character. A small number of forgers even [[Forging\|forge]] halberds, filling a niche between the very light, weak {{ilink\|w\|Sturdy short-hafted halberd}} and the much heavier [[Crossing]] {{ilink\|w\|Halberd}}. The most powerful models are generally considered the {{ilink\|w\|Slender ~~Khuj~~}} or the {{ilink\|w\|Lochaber ~~Axe~~}}, though at 62 [[stones]], these can be a bit unwieldy.

	Sadly, the pike templates available to players to forge are all rather useless, being extremely poor in regards to weight versus damage (extremely heavy, not very powerful). Pikes sold at stores tend to either be overwhelmingly heavy or extremely weak. The effective combos for pike weapons are inferior to those used for other weapons, and even a pike weapon with high damage [[Appraisal skill\|appraisal]] will pale in comparison to other heavy weapons, like [[Halberds skill\|halberds]], [[Twohanded Edged skill\|twohanded edged]], and [[Twohanded Blunt skill\|twohanded blunt]]. Much of this is the result of a change by GM Ssra, who was of the opinion that pikes were historically a weak weapon for one-on-one combat, and had planned to implement some sort of bonus for using the weapon in a group. This development never came about, and the weapon seems to currently be in a state of flux.
