		+
		+	A '''bill-guisarme''' is a type of [[weapon]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. It is a [[two-handed]] [[polearm]] that is made of [[iron]], and appears as a '''hooked polearm''' when [[Identification\|unidentified]].
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	In addition to random generation, general [[shop]]s and antique weapons outlets can sell bill-guisarmes.
		+
		+	[[Watchmen]] and [[soldier]]s may [[Monster starting inventory\|be generated with]] a bill-guisarme.{{refsrc\|src/makemon.c\|194\|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	The bill-guisarme is tied for the third-heaviest polearm with the [[bardiche]], and among polearms it has relatively high damage against [[small]] monsters and decent average damage against large monsters. While this makes it a good polearm option, the [[ranseur]] also offers comparable damage for nearly {{frac\|2\|5}} of the bill-guisarme's [[weight]].
		+
		+	==History==
		+	The bill-guisarme is introduced with all other polearms in [[NetHack 1.3d]].
		+
		+	==Origin==
		+	{{wikipedia\|Bill (weapon)}}
		+	[[Image:Bill-guisarmes.png\|150px\|thumb\|right]]
		+	A bill is a class of agricultural implement used for trimming tree limbs that was often repurposed for use as an infantry polearm in medieval Europe - this was done through the addition of various projecting blades, with the bill-guisarme being one such variant. As a weapon, the bill is similar in size, function and appearance to the [[halberd]], and may represent convergent evolution in polearm weapon design due to its thrusting point, hook and spike/axe. The English distinguished among several varieties of bill, including the black, brown and forest bills, but the differences between them are currently not fully understood; some bill-guisarmes are also known simply as [[guisarme]]s.
		+
		+	==Variants==
		+	===xNetHack===
		+	[[xNetHack]] removes the bill-guisarme and many other polearms.
		+
		+	===EvilHack===
		+	In [[EvilHack]], a bill-guisarme can be created at a [[Forge (dungeon feature)\|forge]] by combining a guisarme and a [[spear]]. This also applies to [[Hack'EM]].
