| colspan="10" align="left" | Ah, the quarterstaff. Never has a device so simple had such power. Despite the extremely basic design and low, low cost, a person with a quarterstaff is actually very well armed indeed. A quarterstaff can be used with no skill exactly as its shorter cousin, the club. But in the hands of a skillful user, the quarterstaff is a double weapon, attacking as two clubs, and the more skill the user has, the more dangerous that simple stick gets. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the quarterstaff can also be used by monks, who can show you how to really use a six foot long hunk of wood.

They hit extremely hard, they can be thrown for good distances, and they can brace to repel charging opponents. Just excellent.

Add a set of crossbars below the head, too, to stop creatures from charging down the shaft. You wind up with the boar spear, which is surprisingly a little less likely than a regular spear to hit for critical damage due to the extra weight, but is much safer if you hit a charging foe.

A mounted opponent hit by a glaive takes a -1 penalty on his Ride checks to stay mounted. Sadly, a glaive does not hit as hard as some other polearms.

When couched proficiently and used in a charge, a lance does double damage or more. Compared to other two-handed weapons, the lance does not do a lot of damage, but when used in it's specialized niche, there is nothing deadlier.

A fauchard is similar to a glaive in that it grants reach. In addition, the back-hook has been turned into a forward facing prong, creating a 'fork' effect on the back of the weapon. To a skilled user, that fork allows bonuses to disarming attempts and can be used for bonuses on trip attempts. A fauchard is better made than most pole arms, with good steel and selected wooden parts so it can be swung faster and harder than most pole arms. A fauchard does good damage and is much more maneuverable than you would expect, since a twist of the wrists can present either of the two tips for an attack. As a result it is much easier to score a dangerous strike with a fauchard than you might expect.

| colspan="10" align="left" | A dwarven urgrosh is a double weapon, but unlike a double sword, using an urgrosh is not a graceful balletic dance. An urgrosh is a long battle axe with a nasty spear point on the opposite end of the long haft. The urgrosh's axe head is a slashing weapon that deals 1d8 points of damage in Medium size. Its spear head is a piercing weapon that deals 1d6 points of damage in Medium size. You can use either head as the primary weapon. The other becomes the off-hand weapon. If you brace an urgrosh against a charging character, the spear head is the part of the weapon that deals damage. In typical use by a skilled user, swipes by the axe head alternate with vicious stabs by the spear, usually into the tops of the feet. An Urgrosh isn't pretty, but it works excellently.
