The spear is a quite common weapon, one of the first of its kind that were made. It has a long shaft, more often made of wood and less of iron, with a sharpened head made of iron, also the head may simply be the sharpened edge of the shaft. It is used by almost every race and especially goblinoids and orcs. Many warriors call it a coward's weapon (as with all pole and ranged weapons), but it has proven itself on the battlefield. It is ideal for quick, piercing attacks.
