==== Fending ====
When making an attack with this weapon (hit or miss), the target creature of between Small and Large sizes (inclusive) is prevented from moving more than 5 feet closer to the wielder on their turn until either:

- The wielder attacks a different target (hit or miss).

- The wielder moves or is moved out of Reach.

- The wielder begins a new turn and the target creature is out of Reach.

- The weapon has the '''Unwieldy''' property and the target creature moves inside half of the weapon's Reach.

- The wielder is disarmed or unequips the weapon.

The wielder also gains +1 AC (Limit of +2) per 10 feet of distance between the wielder and target creature, specifically against the target creature, while it is within Reach, unless this weapon has the Unwieldy property and the target creature is within half of the weapon's Reach. This AC gain represents the wielder's ability to use the haft of the weapon to deflect or disrupt attacks.
