| Description = Among polearms, the fauchard (also known as 'the devil's fork') is the hardest one to use well.  In the hands of a user without an exotic weapons proficiency, a fauchard will be next to useless.  But once you learn how to wield it, it is deadly.  A fauchard is similar to a glaive in that it grants 10 feet of reach.  In addition, the back-hook has been turned into a forward facing prong, creating a 'fork' effect on the back of the weapon.  To a skilled user, that fork enables both disarming attempts and trip maneuvers.  A fauchard is better made than most pole arms, with good steel and selected wooden parts so it can be swung faster and harder than most pole arms.  A fauchard does good damage and is much more maneuverable than you would expect, since a twist of the wrists can present either of the two tips for an attack.  As a result it is much easier to score a dangerous strike with a fauchard than you might expect.  The fauchard belongs to the "Polearms" weapon group.
