The blade of this polearm is a curved chopping blade with a spiked projection on the back of the blade. The spike is commonly used to block and parry. Despite the fairly simple design, the glaive is remarkably handy in combat. When fighting defensively or with full defense, this weapon gives you a +1 shield bonus to AC. 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. They are long enough that they allow attacks and threaten against squares ten feet (2 squares) from the wielder, but do not allow attacks or threaten adjacent squares. The Glaive belongs to the "Polearms" weapon group. |
