Spears/Javelins

Spears are long poles with a sharpened, pointed head usually made of a different material than the polearm itself. These weapons are held by both hands and used to keep an enemy at bay or are used close to the body to blunt-force an opponent with both ends then deal a finishing blow with the sharpened end. Javelins are simply spears that are designed to be thrown as projectiles, which forces a soldier to resort to his sidearm -- usually a short sword -- until a lapse in battle allows him to retrieve his javelin.

However, as man developed the use of larger animals to use as both beasts of burden and more importantly as a vehicle of war, it was discovered that the spear was a literal necessity of any standing army to use against horses or even larger animals such as elephants. When a spear was made even longer and made to be staked into the ground, it became known as the pike, the development of which was instrumental in stopping heavily armed cavalry from destroying an army's front lines. With this new tool, the standing infantry was put back on even ground with the knights of the high orders and the barbarians of the uncivilized world.

Spears and pikes are considered 8-slot weapons due to their size, and are granted an automatic Armor Piercing capability, lowering the damage soak granted by armor by 5% per attack (not per hit), not to exceed 20% reduction.
