@iamtakingiteasy @parker @blaaablaaaa @confederatehobo now a good twhap from a heavy enough mace could easily put a nice dent into a plate, and going on from there you could do actual ouchies

Thrusting isn't allowed since that would kill, even with a blunted weapon. And polearms aren't often used in profights (grappling, kicking, throws) unless both parties agree to it, since they get in the way of grappling. Usually they're used in melees (3v3, 5v5, 150v150) etc., where you'll have guys with short weapons grappling to tie the other team up, and then the polearm guys will come in and slash the thighs, ass, etc., to help drop a guy.

@parker @blaaablaaaa @confederatehobo Thrusting isn't going to penetrate armor plate. A long swing with halberd spike could. And if you're not going to use it, might as well take pillow instead.

@blaaablaaaa @parker @confederatehobo The other one has a spike on his polearm made for this express purpose and type of engagement he does not use.
