Ah, yes! Glaive-guisarme! I had a gnome ( a hefty one) who could be seen astride
a wolf ( pony was TOO large for him) and brandishing a small glaive-guisarme.
He had STR of 18:8? (legal in that campaign) and did a LOT of damage. 

He also had his life saved more than thrice by giant rats and other "burrowing
animals" ( remember? it's stated in the rules that gnomes speak " burrowing 
animals" tongues! ALL of them!(;->)). His heroic battle-songs in Giant-Rat 
tongue DID bother his bi-pedal companions (squeek-squeek-SCHREEETCH!).

Nothing I ever say reflects the views or opinions of my employers.
They knew who they hired though!
