Reaper is a lawful artifact halberd in SLASH'EM. It has +5 to hit and +20 to damage when pounding. It is the guaranteed second sacrifice gift for yeomen.

Strategy

This weapon is tied with the Bat from Hell for the highest damage bonus in the game. Unfortunately, it is somewhat less useful, since its damage bonus only applies when pounding, and polearms all do terrible damage in melee range. Its utility depends on your play style: if you are making thorough use of riding and polearms, it is very useful. If instead you are simply playing as a straightforward fighter, it can be quite difficult to use effectively.
