Spear (All periods)
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.
Disadvantage:
A fumble indicates that the spear is broken. When used as a Lance, the spear also brakes if the damage die rolls as “odd”.
