I looked all over the BOW and did a search function on here and found nothing...
Can I make an omni blade polearm (call it what you will) that's double ended, BUT the bottom end has a smaller striking surface (say 6") That I would use to stab only, so long as I kept the padding (and from what I see in the BOW, "padding" can mean non-strike legal surface) going for 18" on both the slashing side and the stabbing butt-spike?
Rules cited:
1.3.1. All striking surfaces of Weapons must be padded adequately to prevent personal injury when striking an opponent with full force
on that surface.
1.3.2. All non-striking surfaces must be padded adequately to prevent personal injury from incidental contact.
1.4.6.2. Double-ended Weapons must have a minimum of 18 inches in length of padding covering each end in a cylindrical fashion.
Both striking surfaces of this weapon must follow Class 3 Weapon standards for a Double-ended Weapon to be legal.
Or is my idea out the window because its a butt-spike and not "exactly" a medieval staff?
1.1.7. Double-ended Weapon – A Weapon "approximating" a medieval staff. (emphasis mine)
