    A friend of my was telling me that i cant us my sheild save in CC b/c they are 2 HandWeapons. I know you can us your sheild out of CC and when in CC you cant us sheild b/c your using 2 Headed Weapon. I cant find this rule in the book. If its a FAQ let me know.

    A Halberd does require 2 hands as shown in the weapon description on page 90. A spear does not require 2 hands so may be used with a shield. Note, however, that spear and shield does not allow you a parry save; that is only for hand weapon & shield.

    Spears are one handed, you can use a shield but don't get the parry
    Halberds are 2 handed so you can't use them with a shield in cc, but you can use the shield for ranged
