Every game who wants some respect NEEDS an Halberd!
And since Illarion lacks one, I suggest you make one for the next build

There are also long and war axes, who are in fact halberds, aren't they?

The waraxe is ofcourse a sturdy companion oin times of war...But nothing beats the punch of an good ol' halberd.
It's a polearm, and waraxes are not. Orc's need a good polearm, and the spear is weak.
Give me halberds, and I'll be your slave forever...

From where I come from those who are skilled enough to use two handed weapons are fierce in combat. Though they can not wield a shield thier weapon has enough range and power "and if thier skill is good enough" it is actually better than a sword because it does so much more damage than a one handed weapon and kills opponents much faster..the reach keeps opponents at bay. The major disadvantage would be projectile weapons and possibly magic since without a shield it's hard to block a fireball.

I wish to see more 2 handed weapons and that thier potency is correctly applied.

Also a 2 handed SKILL
