Medieval Reach Weapons

[Joust]

I'm certainly no expert when it comes to medieval weaponry. I'm looking for names/descriptions of reach weapons. These can even be less common names of the reach weapons already listed in the PHB. I'm guessing that there are lots of "spear" type weapons that were common a few hundred years ago--if you happen to know what they were called, I'd like to know.

Also, if there's an online resource with this info that would be very helpful also. Thx -

Unearthed Arcana had plenty of that kind of thing. There was a whole host of pole-arms in that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a Tetsubo a huge spiked club of sorts?

Yup, one of the weirdest polearms ever conceived.

A tetsubo is listed as a polearm? Whyever for? It has no reach. It's just a studded great club wielded with two hands. Interesting...

Really, it was my mistake.

Haha, didn't mean to stress you out. BTW, did you just lift that from AD&D 2E or did you have other resources for that?
