Swordstaves

[Archpaladin Zousha]

As I am a huge Total War geek, and have been enjoying playing as various Scandinavian factions of late, I was wondering what the statistics for this weapon would be:

A swordstaff, or "hafted sword."

According to what I've read, it's supposed to basically be like a short sword put on a haft. I'm not sure how such a weapon would behave in-game. Most likely it would be Piercing and Slashing, and it would have reach, but I'm not sure what other qualities it should have, like damage and whatnot.

I'm not homebrew master, so I'd like some advice. How would you stat a swordstaff in Pathfinder? I'd like to play an Ulfen warrior who uses it as his weapon of choice.

Pick a polearm, use that.

Look up naginata in the Ultimate Combat book.

Oh he's talking about that weapon from Dragon Age 2?
Yeah, I've toyed with creating a weapon thats a magical staff with a blade on one end...

Super genius games released a book with the swordstaff in it. I think it's .50$ at the moment.

Edit: Here it is

I'm talking about the one on the left in the picture, the one that looks like a spear with an S-shaped crossbar. The other polearm in the picture is a halberd, yes.

Check out the swordstaff in that supplement. It's pretty sweet, you can either use it as a reach weapon or regular, you just need to use a swift action to switch.

Got the supplement, and it answered my questions and more. Thanks guys! :)
