A '''pike''' is a piercing [[weapon]] that is essentially a very long [[spear]]. Pikes are twice the size of standard [[spear]]s, with a 20% increase in penetration (which, theoretically, should prove useful when fighting [[forgotten beast|large monsters]]). Attack range is not currently modeled, so pikes are neither granted the initial attack nor rendered useless as enemies advance to close combat range.

Pikes use and train the [[Pikeman]] / Pikedwarf skill. As foreign weapons, dwarves cannot [[forge]] pikes, limiting supply to whatever low-[[quality]] specimens can be traded from human [[caravan]]s and scavenged from invaders.

[[Weapon#Size|Due to the size of pikes]], most dwarves are unable to equip them. With height and broadness modifiers, some dwarves ''should'' be able to use a pike, and a select few might manage to do so one-handed. Unfortunately, due to a [[#Bugs|bug]], pikes cannot currently be equipped by any dwarves.

In fortress mode, one-handed vs. two-handed checks are performed correctly, but can wield vs. can't wield ignores height and broadness modifiers, so dwarves cannot equip pikes.{{Bug|0005812}} See [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119068.msg3790913#msg3790913 this] forum post for details.
