Fauchard
This polearm is similar to a glaive, being a curved blade affixed to the end of a pole.
Unlike a glaive, though, the cutting edge of a fauchard is along the concave side, causing the blade to resemble that of a sickle or Scythe.
Benefit: The fauchard is more awkward to utilize than a glaive (and as such is an exotic weapon), but its increased threat range over the glaive and the ability to trip foes make it a dangerous weapon in the hands of a skilled user.
Weapon Feature(s): reach, trip
