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.
