Won’t Someone Think of the d100 Polearms? is a free toolkit for crafting unique polearms for use in tabletop roleplaying games. It is system neutral, and it will be up to you to assign stats that make sense for the polearms in your system of choice.
In this toolkit you will find three tables to roll on to create a polearm:
1. A table of 100 blade designs based on historical polearms!
2. A table of 100 special qualities (Angry, Wise, Invisible, Cabbage)!
3. A table of 100 (mostly) decorative shafts!
Now, go forth and fill your games with a bounty of the most useful yet most underappreciated type of weapon ever to grace the pages of our hobby!
It’s a spear. It’s an axe. It’s a hammer. Also, not pictured, is a *second* spike on the other end of the staff. This thing was a veritable multitool on the battlefield, and was great at dealing with plate armor. As such, in the late medieval period, the poleaxe became the primary weapon many knights carried, with the knightly sword relegated to a backup and ceremonial role.
Was all prepared to study actual metal armor and borrow from GoT in designing armor for our orc before we realized nothing was stopping us from finally giving a character the creepy living bug shell armor of our dreams.
This is pretty heavily inspired by the Collector Armor from Mass Effect with some direct modeling of a drone mask we bought from ForFun.
