Pole Weapon Rework

Kieddicus · 03-02-2021, 08:07 PM

Earlier in the Discord I mentioned the idea of Pole Weapons having reduced DX instead of dealing less Damage. Thinking over my idea the Charge rules will have to be tweaked as well, so here is the idea:

Pole Weapons deal the same damage as other weapons with the same ST.
Pole Weapons attack at -2* DX if you are engaged with an enemy, unless that enemy charged you this turn. [Replaces the 'Set vs Charge' rule.]
Charge is now defined as moving next to an enemy who you two were out of each other's melee reach at the start of the turn.
Javelins ignore all special rules for Pole Weapons.

* Can be adjusted for balance.

I am not convinced this is a good idea, but am interested in your guys feedback.
