Spears are one of the several basic dwarven melee weapons, and are made at a Metalsmith's forge. They do piercing damage, which tends to destroy organs (if the opponent has any) on criticals. Spears do 100 damage, with a +2 chance of critical hits (i.e. internal injuries), equal to the highest of any melee weapon. Spears are more likely to get stuck in enemies than swords. They are also less likely to dismember enemies, leaving fewer body parts for the dwarfs to clean up.
Spears, like other metal weapons, can be made of any weapons-grade metal. Occasionally elven traders may have wooden spears to sell.
Spears, like all weapons, can be used in weapon traps; unlike other weapons, they can also be used in upright spear traps.
