What other weapon literally has an entire setting based on it? Checkmate, swordfags.

Bludgeoning damage is best damage. I'm also fond of axes and spears, but the former is basically a single-edged mace for all intents and purposes and the latter is just too good NOT to like. All three are piss-cheap and effective though, and that's part of the appeal.

Utility weapons are so hot right now!

>>55065912
They do a bunch of different jobs. That said, they are really only well suited for the type of warfare they were designed for.

Doesn't magic make all weapons redundant?

What's the difference with a halberd?

>>55065815

Swordhammer just sounds stupid anon

>>55066048
Halberd is more of a axe-spear and used in formation. Poleaxes are dueling weapons.

Eldritch magics.

Broadly speaking, halberds were longer. If you want to get into the details though, there were halberds shorter than pole axes, and vice-versa. The universal difference was probably one of form, where a halberd was made with the head as one solid piece socketed onto a shaft, while a pole axe head was at least two pieces, one being the axe part which was mounted to the shaft in the manner of a traditional axe, the other being the spike on top which was attached over the top.

>Not using a guandao, official weapon of the god of war

For what purpose, peasants?

>>55065815
Depends. Assuming you are fighting alone I would take a war hammer (not a maul with a 30 lbs head) and a shield since it is much more effective against armour than a sword or axe. However when it comes to monster a polearm of some fashion would be better for the better reach and leverage to deal more devastating blows.

HEMAfags, i swear to you. if i wanted realism, i'd watch a documentary or read a book instead of watching game of thrones or playing a TTRPG

>>55069194

Go on. Do so. Ignorance is not a virtue. Also Game of Thrones sucks.

>>55068366
If you can swing around a 23lb all-metal spear and not die of strain in the first 30 seconds of combat then more power to you.
