This discussion got me thinking about a new option.
There's dodge vs missile and defend against melee weapons, both being defensive in nature.
Why not have deflect?
As I cross the 2 hex range of a pole weapon, I chose to "bat" it to the side. The pole weapon has to be in my front hexes.
Consider it an attack against the weapon.
Maybe 4 vs Dx and the Fencing or 2 weapons talents 3 vs Dx.
and costs 1 additional MA? (the time it takes to make a cautious approach)
if successful, the pole weapon user can still make an attack by swinging it for normal damage, not as a charge.
