Bill bec-de-bardiche glaive-guisarme

Template:Itemheader This is a polearm from one of those countries where they have a different word for, like, everything. It's as unwieldy to wield as it is to pronounce, but hits harder than a bottle of Mad Train Wine.

Type: weapon (2-handed polearm?)
Power: 150
Muscle Required: 60
Selling Price: 150 Meat.

Notes

• Bought at The Armory and Leggery for 1,125 Meat.
• The addition of the question mark after "2-handed polearm" is intentional: The question mark shows up in the item description, probably because such a complicated, unwieldy weapon is not so easily categorized.
• The Bill bec-de-bardiche glaive guisarme's name is a parody of the following polearms: Bill hook, Bec de Corbin, Bardiche, Glaive and the Guisarme.
• An early edition of Dragon magazine had a lengthy article by Gary Gygax describing many kinds of pole weapons in considerable (read: tedious) detail. Since then, long lists of polearms and the people who make them have been the butt of jokes among some gamers.
