Also known a "poleaxe flares." They inflict a critical from the crush table as damage when they flare, and have the potential for a second "flare" which trips the target. If you have 50 ranks of MOC and the flare activates, you have a 33% chance of also doing the second "flare". If you have 100 ranks of MOC and the flare activates, you have a 66% chance of also doing the second "flare". Polearm flares will not function against creatures greater than 15 levels above the player.

Polearm flares (sometimes called poleaxe flares or polearm rebalancing flares) are a type of scripted flare. It can be applied to any two-handed polearm or quarterstaff. Spear/trident are eligible, but the script only when they are gripped with two hands.

Polearm flares inflict a critical from the crush table as damage when they flare, and have the potential for a second "flare" which trips the target. With 50 ranks of Multi-Opponent Combat, the flare has a 33% chance of triggering a second "flare" when it activates. At 100 ranks of MOC, there is a 66% chance of also triggering the second "flare". Polearm flares will not function against creatures greater than 15 levels above the player.
