As
dwarves poured out of
the Darklands following their Quest for Sky, the
orcs driven before them adapted to their tactics—including dwarves’ heavily armored infantry charges. Surviving orcs developed a response: a weapon that combines a
spear and
maul to crush heavy armor and skewer charging foes. Although rarely seen today, the weapon is remarkably effective in the right situation.

Versatile: A versatile weapon can be used to deal a different type of damage than its listed type. This trait indicates the alternate damage type. For instance, a piercing weapon with versatile S can deal piercing or slashing damage. You choose the damage type each time you attack.
Critical Specialization Effects
Source Core Rulebook pg. 283 4.0Certain feats, class features, weapon runes, and other effects can grant you additional benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialization effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialization effect of your weapon.
