POLEARM GLAIVE

POLEARM
Syntax:  automatic

Polearms include lances, scythes, halberds and glaives.  In case 
of the latter two they are composed of an axe like blade attached 
to a long 6-8 foot haft and usually adorned with various hooks and
barbs.

Polearms are more offensive than swords, and easier to defend with 
then spears. They disarm better than staffs, shield-disarm better 
then maces and are easier to disarm than flails.
