I would give it no penality when the weapon is braced for attacks.(though realisticaly you can only leave it braced to recive a charge after that you couldn't really leave it braced and make attacks at moving targets) I think -6 is a bit harsh for unbraced(since you already can;t attack those under 10ft from you) I think maybe a -2 at 15ft, and -4 at 10ft(when at shorter ranges more of the shaft is behind you making it more likely to bump things ect) or you could switch them around(arguing that the weight would make it harder to wield at 15ft)And I would make it a martial feat, it really isn't a complicated weapon to attack with, no more so than most martial weapons.</blockquote>
