A spear is a piercing weapon that is essentially a sharply pointed blade mounted on the end of a long handle. Spears are half the size of pikes, but only suffer a 17% decrease in penetration.
Spears use and train the speardwarf skill. Dwarves can forge spears out of any weapon-grade metal, though those with superior edge properties are recommended. All dwarves can equip spears, but some must use two hands.
Spears may also be installed in upright spear traps, allowing them to be mechanically operated; this is particularly useful for constructing danger rooms.
