TRIDENT (polearm)
=================
Weight: ~3 kg
Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row

        A trident is a long pole measuring four to eight 
feet with a metal, triple-bladed fork on one end. It is
not used as a weapon by professional armies, but has seen
some limited use from peasant guerrillas. The trident is 
normally a tool used for fishing, with some limited uses 
as an agricultural or hunting tool. It is a two-handed weapon.
        Several aquatic races, such as locathah, merfolk, 
mermen, sahuagin, and tritons, use tridents. They realize 
the versatility of the trident, since it is effective as both
a fishing tool and a weapon.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon: 
  Battlecry, impale, lure, mangle and polearms.
