Did I make a mistake with halberds ?

I put two points into Two-Handed Style and another two points into Halberds but later realized that none of the 2H weapons cover for blunt damage. Am I going to have serious trouble along this path ?
I am impressed by the sheer damage of 2H weapons. Especially the early Chesley Crusher. I am not sure if the Chesley Crusher is not bugged, looks like I am hitting twice per round instead of once on my Berserker. Can someone confirm if they hit twice too ?
Probably should have picked 2H swords instead of the halberds. But still no blunt damage. Does the Quarterstaff count as 2H weapon ?

Yes, it is a Two-Hands Weapon.
The illusion that it hits twice per round comes from observing the actions against multiple opponents surrounding you. What happens is that when you kill one opponent during a round, the character executes a second hit in that same round, but the second hit is against a different opponent. Whether this mechanic is a bug or not I don't know.
But 1-vs-1 fights, the Chesley Crusher indeed hits only once per round.
During my test my character killed 4 opponents with this halberd in a single round. This halberd makes so much damage that it one-shots the skeletons surrounding me and as a result all 4 were hit and killed in a single round. Don't know if this is a bugged mechanic but looks pretty awesome.
but for bg1 you'll be fine.
