These look pretty damn pointy to me.
And Arrows, Barbed Arrows and Tatar Arrows look pretty pointy to me so your point is? (no pun intended
)
Have you ever looked at the fauchard model? visitors can't see pics , please register or login
...that spike looks pretty penetrating to me...
Looks pretty useless to me. Neither spike is in line with the haft and so getting any kind of penetration from them would be extremely difficult. I see what you mean though and maybe Fauchard should remain pierce.
Wait.. what?! Can kind of see where you are going though but changing it to cut would probably make them a lot worse, and afaik they dont need nerfs..
Its not about needing nerfs, its about diversity of weapons and balance. Right now all the thrusting polearms are pretty much the same except for length and damage and for me that's boring. Creating some diversity would be good imo as then we'd have cheaper thrusting polearms for use against peasants/ninjas and the more expensive polearms for use against armour.
Keep in mind that cut stabs do not rear horses. Also, no.
This I didn't know and if true then the idea isn't possible
Most spear & pike pole arms have miserable 3-direction swing attacks damage, and you want to render the remaining direction into cut?
Just looked and the shorter spears have stupidly low swing damage and should be buffed anyway regardless of this idea. Quarter Staff = 19 Blunt Damage, Boar Spear = only 16 Blunt Damage despite being much heavier and slightly longer. Why swing damage isn't at least roughly proportional to weight I have no idea - but that is another topic.
