 +
 
 +
::'''battle axe''': includes the military fork. Breaks will affect the handle 9 times out of 10.
 +
 
 +
::'''bola''': designed to take down humanoid creatures up to 350 lbs. in weight. If the thrower successfully hits AC 0, the balls and rope of the bola will wrap around the creature's body. The creature must make saving throw versus petrification or else the bola will trap the arms against the torso and the creature will be helpless. Otherwise, the creature has had the legs wrapped by the bola and will be able work free in 2-5 rounds. All other hits will simply cause damage.
 +
 
 +
::'''corseque''': includes the spetum.

When used from a heavy warhorse (including the paladin's warhorse), add +2. When the lance is used in charging, damage is doubled.
