Talk:Polearm

We got them all?
I know theres not many, do we have all of the types listed?

A small note, a pitch fork is not a pole arm. One-Winged Hawk 10:53, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

What makes you say that a pitchfork is not a polearm? We've got trident listed, and they're essentially the same thing except the number of tines. 11:31, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * A Trident is a type of spear... A Pitchfork is not even a weapon. One-Winged Hawk 11:41, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, the end of a pitchfork is not identifical to that of the trident, though they look the same at first glance they are not the same. A pitchfork has its prongs forward so they can accurately pick up and stack hay and other things neatly, whereas two of the tridents prongs bend for more effective use for snearing thing on.

 * By that logic Bos and quarterstaffs shouldn't be on the page either because they can be used as walking sticks... 12:06, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

 * Erm, no, read the page again; they count because their a specific BRANCH of staves that are used for fighting and styles were developed around them, whereas pitchforks were NEVER designed for fighting. One-Winged Hawk 10:17, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I will note here a walking stick can automatically become a quarter stick if you use it right though, just the same as a broom can become one if you use it as one. Its quite hard to explain the concept as.  One-Winged Hawk 10:37, June 18, 2011 (UTC)



Again, I removed the Impel Down guys, their still pitchforks not tridents. *sigh* the second thing that makes a pitchfok a pitchfork is the actual curves in the prongs. All three curve in the same direction like a normal table fork does. Even if the prongs are not straight like a normal pitchfork this is still another thing that erans them that classification. See the piture here where you can still 3 three prongs bending.

A trident DOES NOT bend like a table fork because that would make it useless for its job as it would be less accurate when thrusting. Remember, these things are spears, accuracy is IMPORTANT because spears are used for both war and hunting.

Come on guys, I feel silly explaining all of this to you... -_- One-Winged Hawk 10:37, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
