Halberd | Bardiche

[Manipul8r]

I know, I just mean I would rather see it cost more and do more so it provides a valuable role rather than just specialization.  There are already weapons in 'Other' and they are cheap.  Currently, I would almost always rather have a cheaper 'Other' weapon without the shield drawback than this.  If it cost 6 and did 7 or 8 damage unupgraded it would be more likely to fill a new role.

I guess I would disagree and use Halberd (really should be renamed Greataxe or something) as the cheap other weapon in Immolation rush and USEM. It costs more but there is quanta to spare for its use and no room for extra weapons. Maybe a Gavel and a Greataxe for Immo rush and a Longsword and a Greataxe for USEM.

Im not sure if 4 is too little, but i love this idea of giving rushes more versatility. Also if you flew it and nightmared it, the ai would discard his shield? (useless thinking)

have it parry weapon attacks or like the first attacker or something equally simple or rename it greataxe. maybe 'Zweihander'

Its not going to parry weapon attacks, so stop bringing it up please.  I suppose renaming Halberd to Greataxe wouldn't be too different however.

I actually like Halberd as a name, just saying.  8)

Halberd -> to Bardiche are good names.

I'm against having the name changed to "great axe".

I admit I would drastically prefer a pair of weapon names as cultured as Halberd|Bardiche but also more aggresive of a wepaon like Greataxe. I would have suggested Maul but we already have a Gavel and the image is of an axe.

How about Daisho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisho)?

No. Daisho means a pair of blades. The longer one is called a Daito usually it was a Katana.
Since this is one weapon, I do not think a pair of blades is an accurate name.

Well, I was just thinking it should be a weapon that is incompatible with a shield, and I figured the artwork could be redone so that it fits.

No offense meant, but it takes me a good bit of time to do these images. Also, if I was dual wielding, I could theorectically drop one of the weapons to pick up a shield.
