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:

Battlecry, Impale, Lure, Mangle and Polearms.

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.
