Shield Halberd

This weapon appears as a stunningly large and heavy halberd. Most of the weapon’s vicious appearance is due to its blade, which is tall enough to almost reach the ground when being wielded and wide enough for a man to take cover behind it.

When a character wielding a shield halberd performs the fighting defensively or total defence actions, he gains a +2 shield bonus to his Armour Class, in addition to the Dodge bonuses gained from these manoeuvres. Any magical enhancement bonuses applied to a shield halberd increase its attack and damage, not its shield bonus.

Contrary to normal halberds, shield halberds cannot be used to make trip attacks or set against an enemy’s charge, due to their incredible bulk.
