Naginata (3.5e Equipment)

The naginata is a polearm with a curved blade at the end, not unlike a katana. It is balanced closer to the middle, relying on cutting motions than hard brutal chops like most polearms. It most resembles a glaive.

A naginata has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe.
