General Information
A halberd weapon (for Dragonrealms purposes) is a pole weapon that deviates somehow from the spearhead-on-a-long-stick formula. Partisans, scythes, poleaxes, and glaives are all examples of halberd-type weapons.
Though not as powerful as player-made 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 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 forge halberds, filling a niche between the very light, weak Sturdy short-hafted halberd and the much heavier Crossing Halberd. The most powerful models are generally considered the Slender Khuj or the Lochaber Axe, though at 62 stones, these can be a bit unwieldy.
Note: Halberds skill can be used during jousting.
