Head Spike

This unusual weapon consists of an iron helmet with a large (1 to 2 foot) spike on the top, sometimes called a "belly skewer." A fighter employs this weapon when charging. Running, bent forward, he attempts to spear his opponent in the stomach. The attack roll is made at a -3 penalty, and he loses any armor class benefits high Dexterity may give him. If he impales his enemy, he scores double damage.
