[QUOTE="Elwood Slayer, post: 1737460, member: 23635"] The Complete Warrior has the rules for Weapon Style Feats. From memory here at work, Spinning Halberd Weapon Style Feat is - Requirements: Weapon Focus Halberd, Combat Reflexes, Two Weapon Fighting Benefit: When you full attack with a Halberd, you may take an extra bludgeoning attack with the the back end of the halberd. The attack is at Base Attack Bonus -5, does 1d6 points of damage on a hit, and only applies half of your strength bonus. Also, when you full attack with a halberd, you get a 1 point deflection bonus to your armor class. So, the only reason I am putting 15 into Dex instead of charisma is to get this special spinning halberd style feat. Is it really worth it? Maybe / maybe not - but I think it adds a lot of flavor and provides a pretty cool benefit. It basically allows me to gain an extra attack (at -5 to hit, and less damage) without taking any penalty to my primary attack. It is a bit like using Two Weapon Fighting while wielding a two-handed weapon. Also, since the halberd head is one solid piece of metal, I can use all enchantments and bonuses placed on the halberd with both the normal slashing/piercing attack and with the extra bludgeoning attack from the feat. Hopefully this clarifies my choice of feats a little better. [/QUOTE]
