Spear

A spear is a one-handed, strength-based weapon used in Elaria by road guards, settlement defenders, and people accustomed to open country. Its long shaft and point give it a distinctive appearance. Different groups may mark their spears with colors or emblems, so finding one in the wilderness can help identify an expedition's origins.

The catalog explicitly allows the spear to be used as a thrown weapon as well. This offers a way to change your approach to suit the situation, although after throwing it you are naturally no longer holding it. Its length alone grants neither an extra attack nor an automatic way to stop an opponent. When choosing it, consider the surroundings and how the hero will retrieve the weapon after a throw.

Attacks use Strength (STR). The 1H designation means it uses one hand. The minimum is STR5, and its catalog physical attack bonus (PATK) is +2. The price is 8 sp. A hero's total attack is then calculated from attributes and the applicable rules; the listed weapon bonus is not the entire final attack.
