The halberd is an odd combination weapon, with an axe blade, a spearhead, and a billhook, meaning it is designed to chop, stab, and hook. It is an excellent weapon against knights and cavalry.

If it is not a polearm, this weapon may be used to change a successful attack against an opponent with a shield into an opposed Strength check; winning this check will remove that character's shield bonus to AC until their next turn.

If it is a polearm, this weapon may be used to make a Touch attack vs. a mounted opponent. If successful, it can then be used to make a CMB check vs. the opponent's CMD or, optionally, their Ride skill; if they fail, they are pulled from their mount and land prone.
