Long Halberd (3.5e Equipment)

Identical to a normal halberd, but longer. The long halberd is a polearm which can act as both spear and axe. Because of its heavy axe head on a considerable length, you need a Strength of 13 to wield correctly, or else take a -4 penalty to attack.

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

If you use a ready action to set a long halberd against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging character.

You can use a long halberd to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the halberd to avoid being tripped.
