War Poules are wooden reach weapons, designed to perform a Bull Rush maneuver from a distance (10 ft./2 squares away). Without a War Poule, a player must perform a Bull Rush while occupying the same square as their target. Standard War Poules are too unwieldy to deal any damage, but they can be made to deal a small amount of damage if modified. These weapons can not deal damage when being used to Bull Rush an enemy even if they have damage dealing capabilities.

Piercing Poules have a small blade attached to the striking bow to deal damage.
Spiked Poules can be used at a 5ft range increment to deal bludgeoning dmage due to their spikes and extra weight.
