[[File:Polearms.gif|thumb|These are all just cosmetic variations of "polearms" in mechanical terms, except the bardiche which is more of a "great axe", and the pike, which is, in fact, a "pike". Lighter versions of any of these could be "spears". Seems that, for some damned reason, the image won't display when resized; click through to the full size image if you wanna see it.]]
