Halberd

The Halberd is the plain, dependable version of the weapon type, with D scaling in Strength and Dexterity and low requirements of 14 Str and 12 Dex. It comes with Charge Forth and can take other Ashes of War.

It suits nearly any melee character early on. Its moveset mixes thrusts for single targets with wide sweeps for groups, which makes it a useful all-rounder.
