It's probably the old-school Dungeons & Dragons fan in me talking, but I love historical polearms that try to be every polearm at once. Like, it's a pike and an awl and a glaive and a billhook and it has an iron-banded haft for parrying and there's an extra spike on the butt-end in case you ever need to stab the guy standing behind you. Fucking "this is the thing they killed Medieval Shinzo Abe with"-ass weapons.

I was researching medieval weaponry, for a school project, not for writing purposes actually, and stumbled upon these images of various polearms (source), and it occurred to me that they matched Rafal's aesthetic, especially in TLEA, so enjoy, I guess?

Practical Feats For Practical Purposes

(The Dragonslayer by Dawnweaver13)

I noticed I haven't been publishing much in my Feats, Spells, and Items tag, so here's a few feats that I think close some gaps in Pathfinder's combat system that could use a clean solution. The first one is a problem that I, a lover of polearms, run into time and time again, and the other is an issue I notice when statting up large monsters.

Close Reach Combat Feat Prerequisite: +1 BAB You are trained in using long weapons to strike enemies that have closed the gap. You may use reach weapons to attack creatures in any square within your reach, including those adjacent to you. While welding reach weapons, you threaten all squares within your reach.

Tangle with Giants Combat Feat Prerequisites: Str 15, Two Improved Combat Maneuver feats As long as you are size Medium or smaller, you get a +2 bonus to combat maneuvers against creatures with size category Large or larger.

Do you like polearms? I know I do. Halberds, bec-de-corbin, Bohemian Earspoon, voulges, all types of bills, guisarmes... I remember reading through the tables in the 1E AD&D PHB and being amazed that they all had different stats. Whatever.
