Weapons

Many polearms are assigned a range, much like missile weapons. A polearm with a range of 2 can strike enemies standing in the character’s front square or any adjacent square beyond the row of front squares.

Some weapons are defined as range only weapons. Pikes and lances fall into this category. These weapons can be used to make normal attacks in the squares they can reach but cannot be used against targets in between the wielder and the weapon’s point.

Creatures wielding range 2 or larger weapons or natural attack forms cannot make melee attacks through an occupied square to another square unless as part of a spear or pike hedge (see Chapter Two).
