| ===== Ability: =====
| |
| ''The spear is used two-handed.''
| |
| # The spear negates the -5 penalty a fighter on foot usually recives when he fights against a mounted knight. It does NOT negate the mounted warriors +5.
| |
| # If a tie occurs in any opposed resolution against a different weapon, a [[sword]] always breaks a non-[[sword]]. This includes a situation where both combatants critically succeeds, regardless of the actual final score.
| |
| | |
| ===== Disadvantage: =====
| |
| A fumble indicates that the spear is broken.

| The Spear is the most common weapon in [[Britain]], and even more so in [[Logres]] and the [[Cymric]] [[culture]]. The basic construction is simple, a metal blade is fitted on a wooden pole. The spear is an effective way to arm a lot of men with little effort.

| ===== Ability: =====
| |
| ''The spear is used one-handed, unlike the great spear. It can not be thrown like a javelin, which is much smaller.''
| |
| # The spear can also be used from horseback as a lance; like a lance, when used in a mounted charge, it calls for the Lance skill rather than the Spear skill.
| |
| # If a tie occurs in any opposed resolution against a different weapon, a sword always breaks a non-sword. This includes a situation where both combatants critically succeeds, regardless of the actual final score.
