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 but those with superior edge properties are more effective. For purposes of building a realistic danger room a less lethal wooden spears may be used if purchased from elves first. 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.
