a spear is, by necessity, a polearm - it has a long shaft (yes, even short spears - have you ever seen a cudgel with a 2 foot long shaft?), and attached to it is the "main fighting part of the weapon" (the spearhead).
i...don't really care about the quarterstaff, honestly.
Neither do I, sir. Neither do I.
So a trident too since it has a shaft? Same with flail since it has a shaft? Javelin too? See where I am coming from yet? Pole arms have arms. Halberd, bardiche, all the various combo picks, awls, pikes...
Yeah I still don't think the Polearm Master feat cares about anything but the exact weapons it lists.
yes, actually. it's just a spear with three heads instead of one.
depends on the flail - the historically-odd-yet-classic style one handed flail, no. the more historically accurate peasant's flail? there's...an argument there. they certainly have long enough shafts, but i don't really know what the flail part would be in terms of being attached.
again - yes, actually. it's just a spear meant for throwing.
okay, first off - that's not what an "arm" is. an "arm" is just a weapon. a quarterstaff is a weapon, and thus an arm, as is a spear and even a sword or gun. second - i assume when you say "arm" you mean the "main fighting piece" i was referring to that was in the only actual solid definition of a polearm i could find. okay, that's fine...spears have that. it's the spearhead. javelins also have that, as do tridents. and thirdly - you know a pike is just an extremely long spear, right? that's literally all it is. by including pikes in this list, you have tacitly admitted spears are polearms.
Yeah, all for adding trident to the list. I mean, have you seen how they fight with them in Aquaman.
I said long spears (two handed) yes including pikes. One handed spears and javelins, no way. Tacitly speaking of course. As an casual medeval fighter, I do indeed know the difference between a pike and a spear.
Dude, how old are you?
Maybe there's a reason all their posts happen after the sun has set.
