Trait: Polearm
Traits > Items > Weapons > Polearm
This character has a polearm.
A pole weapon is a close combat weapon in which the main fighting part of the weapon is placed on the end of a long shaft, typically of wood, thereby extending the user's effective range.
Spears, glaives, poleaxes, halberds, and bardiches are all varieties of polearms. The idea of attaching a weapon onto a long shaft is an old one, as the first spears date back to the Stone Age. The purpose of using pole weapons is either to extend reach or to increase angular momentum—and thus striking power—when the weapon is swung.
This trait is intended to be used for made up or unidentified types of pole weapons that are not mentioned above, for those use (or make) the appropriate trait.
