The Bardiche is quite short for a polearm, but it is also suprisingly quick, it lacks the spearpoint of a Pike, a hammer or hook of a Halberd, but what it has is a Single blade much like a axe but the blade is very long going down the shaft.
This means the Bardiche acts like a Cleaver (easily able to pierce Chain maile), also the Bardiche is unique in another way because unlike most weapons it has two connections to the shaft meaning it is more secure and easy to control.
Truth be told, the Bardiche is just a Very long Axe blade attached to the smallest shaft a Polearm can have (5ft)it has no subtly as you can imagine
The downside is for a Polearm (Poleaxe to be precise)it is very short and requires two hands to use.
P.S by short for a Polearm it is on average around 6ft (Sometimes bigger or smaller, I am 5'11 for example and it is still bigger than me, there are pikes and poleaxes that are 12ft long.
Looks familiar from somewhere... I like it! :D
You may do because we based it off many Historical References.
diablo 2 style :D
these weren't really that common in the 11th century...
But were around not very common though.
yeah, does not have to be common, just has to exist.. :)
True, we will even add the weapons whose design was.. well crap like the Fauchard (A Polearm with a Curved blade on the end)
Like so Tomsarazac.com
The pole was around 9ft long, it will be not very good at all, but some might find use for it thats why we will have it.
oh really, will they now, i'll get you george, :)
We have updated the Bardiche, look good?
