1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
The Fauchard-fork is a Hybrid between a fauchard and a military fork: there were two general forms of this combination weapon. The first followed the typical fauchard form, with a single spike set to project from the back of scythe blade. The second reversed the scythe blade so as to have its concave cutting edge face towards the opponent, the blade being more curved and sickle-like, and a spike tipping the pole end (or projecting from the scythe blade).
With a Fauchard-fork, you get a +2 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm an opponent (including the roll to avoid being disarmed if such an attempt fails).
A Fauchard-fork has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can't use it against an adjacent foe.
A mounted opponent hit by a fauchard-fork takes a –1 penalty on the Ride check to stay mounted.
Characters proficient with the voulge-guisarme is also proficient with the Fauchard and the Military Fork for purposes of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, & Weapon Specialization and class features.
