| ===== 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.
| |
| | |
| ===== 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”.
| |
| | |
| ==Javelin (All periods)==
| |
| | |
| [[File:pilum.png|center|400px]]
| |
| | |
| The javelin become common in [[Britain]] with the appearance of the [[romans]], but has been around for as long as the spear. They stay around, more or less unchanged through history, but become less used when armor becomes better.
| |
| | |
| ===== Ability: =====
| |
| ''A short, light spear that can be thrown at a nearby opponent or game animal. A javelin’s maximum range is 30 yards.''
| |
| # Due to its lightness and the fact that it is hurled, a javelin deals 2d6 less damage than the user’s normal Damage statistic, to a minimum of 1d6 damage. Thus, a character who normally does 4d6 points of damage on a hit deals only 2d6 with a javelin.
| |
| # On a critical hit, if the target receives the armour bonus protection of its shield, the javelin sticks into the shield and splinters inflicting a -5 penalty to all further combat rolls until a re-arm action is taken to remove the offending object.

| ===== Disadvantage: =====
| |
| A fumble indicates that the javelin is broken.
