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 glaive-guisarme is an hybrid weapon, since it has the blade of a glaive and a guisarme-lenght handle.
If you use a ready action to set a bill-guisarme against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging character.
Glaive-guisarmes have the potential to dismount cavalry: even if the strike of the weapon didn't kill the rider, it could potentially lock into the different parts of their body or armor and bring them down. When you make a successful slashing attack against mounted opponents, they must make a Strength saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 10 + 1/2 Base attack bonus + Strenght. On a failed save, the target is dismounted from their mount.
The glaive-guisarme has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe.
the glaive-guisarme does either piercing or slashing damage (player’s choice at time of attack).
You can use the glaive-guisarme to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during the attempt, you may drop the weapon to avoid being tripped in return.
Characters proficient with the bill-guisarme is also proficient with the long bill, the glaive and the guisarme for purposes of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, & Weapon Specialization and class features.
