Real World Weapons - I guess I should have houserules edition


Pollaxe - 1d8/1d6 It can used from the second rank as a spear doing 1d6 damage or in close melee as a mace/axe/hammer for 1d8 or as a spear for 1d6. It can be used to make trip attacks against foes in close melee with a +2 to hit dealing minimum damage (still roll damage though) and needing a save vs paralysis/petrifaction with a penalty equal to damage rolled or fall prone.


Longsword/bastard sword - Can be used to halfsword allowing it to be used in tighter quarters and giving a +1 to hit vs plate mail or better armor. It can also be used to make trip attacks like a pollaxe but with no bonus to hit.

Greatswords/zweihanders - Can be used make a single attack to all, friends and foes, in front at -2 to hit each for 1d8 damage. While fighting defensively do not include any additional penalties.
