Bec de corbin

Bec de corbins were a type of polearm in the Realms that had an infamous reputation.
==Description==
At a glance, this weapon bore a resemblance to a lucerne hammer. Bec de corbins had poles, with an awl spike that was shorter and broader than that of a lucerne hammer, and a hooked blade that was the weapon's namesake and comparable to a heavy military pick's head. The other end of the weapon was backed by either a clawed or pronged hammer head like the lucerne hammer, a flat hammer head, or even an axehead.
==Weaponology==
These weapons were highly specialized for piercing or slicing through heavy plate armor with their crow-beak, and then using the weapon's other end to strike the opponent.
==Availability==
Places in the Realms where one could purchase bec de corbins included:
* The Weaponers of Cormyr.
==Notable Owners==
* The Ravenian merchant Bendekar had a bec de corbin in his home's expansive weapons collection.
