Is that what you want?

I've always thought the double side lance (and this weapon alone) should have a fifth attack direction; a stab behind you.

That could be pretty rad. Make it shorter than the forward thrust. Is it getting the attack direction due to another spike on the backside, or for other reasons (item stats), or a combination? I ask because Ashwood Pike has a pointy end on its backside, Lance has a blunt end, Qstaff two blunt ends, etc.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

I have always imagined it would allow you to (minimally) damage someone behind you when you draw back for a normal forwards attack. Instead of you know, preparing for an imminent glance. Just imagine... hoplites could have some small hope when mobbed!

But I agree with malaclypse... every polearm would then need some sort of dual-stab attack since all have either a pointy end or blunt end. well, even if the end did cut it could still work. *looks at long axe's actual stab*
