FAUCHARD
Weight: ~3 kg
Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row
- Developed from the common agricultural sickle or scythe, the fauchard consists of a long, curving blade with a large, pointed head and a fluke (a small, curved hook found on many polearms). The head is mounted on a wooden pole about eight feet long.
- Peasants can often change scythes into fauchards.
- The fauchard is classified as a glaive. It is not very good as a thrusting weapon, but is used mainly as a slashing weapon. It fulfils the need for a weapon that puts some distance between the wielder and his enemy.
- Since the fauchard is not an instrument designed foremost as a weapon but rather a farm tool adapted for war, it is inefficient as a weapon of war, being rather bulky and needing a large area to be used properly.
Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:
See also other polearms:
- Bardiche, Boar spear, Fauchard, Gisarme, Glaive, Halberd, Harpoon, Javelin, Lance, Long spear, Pike, Pilum, Ranseur, Scythe, Short spear, Trident and Voulge.
