For the Polearms, because you are investing in dexterity as well, you automatically get a defense benefit.
Polearms have been ratcheted up in damage and speed, and given their increased range, as you go on down the line HOPEFULLY they give you a nice damage return for your point investment. But we'll see - please let me know how they work out for you!

Crossbows have the additional ability to pierce multiple enemies automatically

Scepters - I think the main advantage of scepters is that for a caster their damage is better than most of the alternatives. I hope I'm not lying here, that's what I seem to remember, and I'm a bit groggy - and you can dual wield with a ranged ( pistol or wand ). The intent was for these to supplement a melee-caster class.
