I’ve had a problem with the current spears for a while now. Now, it is a decent mid-range weapon, being weaker but faster than other pole arms. My issue is the fact that, realistically, you cannot throw a Warspear very far. A javelin is a throwing spear, not a warspear. Also, a javelin is more fragile & doesn’t work so well in a melee. So, now it’s time to get straight to it:

Current spear would be renamed ‘javelin’ instead of spear. They would be stackable up to 4 & have ½ to ¼ current durability. In a melee, it would have its current statistics, maybe with a 125% melee range & 90% of its current ranged damage. They would also be able to get ranged modifiers. The reason it would be stackable is that javelins were often carried something akin to a quiver.

The Warspear would be the real spear-type pole arm. It would have X-.5 damage, 150% range, & ≈80% attack speed (X would be faction/material type damage). I may or may not be able to be thrown, & if it could would have 125% of the corresponding spear’s range damage, but 80 to 75% of the spear’s range. It would be made like this:

---	---	Ingot ---	Javelin	--- Stick	---	---

Or like this:

---    ---     Ingot ---    Javelin Ingot Stick  ---     ---
