Mar 17, 2018 at 12:51 comment added pojo-guy Melee Combat would come down to mount Betsy mount, with the rider being baggage. However, given the prone position of the rider, a crossbow might be arranged.

Apr 27, 2017 at 22:18 comment added Mr.Mindor You may be working with more refined internal definitions, but in a general sense they are both very much blades on sticks (most polearms are): The head of the halberd is often called a blade, and while not all lances have metal tips, most spears do and and it isn't uncommon for those to be bladed. Ultimately I get the distinction you are trying to make in the answer... lighter- slashing polearms: good; heavier polearms and non-disposable polearms with complex heads: bad. (I've proposed an edit to clarify the slashing part)

Apr 27, 2017 at 18:48 comment added John neither one of those is a blade on a stick, a halbert is an combination axe , pick,and hook on a stick, and not disposable. A lance is either a very unweildy spear or something only used in sports.
Apr 27, 2017 at 13:59 comment added Mr.Mindor +1 overall, but you initially say any blade on a stick is a good idea (naganita) and later say blade on a stick is a bad idea (lance or halberd)
