I would but I have been working on the weapon shop so I want to finish that first

Hey how much damage do you think a halbert should do between 20-30?

I'd put it at 20 since it's mostly used to kill cavalry and not for pure power. A battleaxe is a better powerhouse.

What? No, 30 at least. A halberd is insanely unwieldy, and the only reason you'd actually wield it is for damage and reach, since the slowness and awkwardness would constantly betray you

What? If your using just to swing around like a battleaxe, but normally it would be used to either kill a horse then the rider, or to drag a rider off their horse then kill them with the axe part

Yes, but this is a video game where mounted enemies are rare, yet to even be encountered. It would actually be unrealistic to have the weapon be weaker in this context, because nine times out of ten, game devs put balancing and fairness ahead of realism.

You know I still have to put stat bonuses on it so no matter what it can be balanced out in some way

*looks at horse battle mount that only cost 2k. looks at elite steel knight that shows up before harberd. looks at knight class that get's bonus from being on a mount.* huh?

Still, a halberd would still be exceptionally clumsy and slow, meaning if it didn't actually do as much damage as an axe, there's no point to choose it over an axe

'only' 2k
bonus is just that, a bonus
Did the elite steel knight even have a horse?

getting 2k gold isn't hard.

a good bonus, that you'd be silly not to use.

Yes?

Besides the fact that it has the range of a spear and can do downward swing attacks like an axe. I still feel that it shouldn't do the same amount of damage cuz it does weigh less than a battleaxe. 25?

That might work with +6 in strength and constitution

Okay, so there're mounted units. WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY A WEAPON WITH SUCH SPECIALIZED USE IF IT CANT FUNCTION AS A WEAPON IN A STANDARD COMBAT ENGAGEMENT!? (Excuse my anger, but this is the point I've actually been trying to make) Even if there are mounted units, they're still uncommon. With the way you put it, a halberd would basically be the mark of a PKer and nothing else, since the people most likely to be mounted are players.

Range is all it has if you don't at least put it on even ground with an axe, because it is clumsy because of said range, not to mention slow because of air resistance.

Based on what you are saying it should be at 35 or 40 damage with no extra bonuses on it and cost almost 2000 gold
