Polearms can be applied to hit targets SQRT(8) squares away on all skill levels. They cannot be used effectively as a melee weapon unless you are riding: a melee hit on foot does only 1–2 damage.

Simple Polearms

These polearms are mostly unchanged from NetHack, except for the ancus, which is new.
