This spear has a smooth wooden shaft, about five feet long, with a small metal
tip at its top. Quality craftsmanship is obvious in the weapon's balance - it
is perfectly weighted and very easy to handle. A leather wrap two feet from the
bottom acts as a handgrip, with the emblem of a horse prominent in the wood
just above.

Opinions

This is an often under used weapon, the keep-at-bay feature of the stabbing weapons group is very powerful when harnessed correctly. Although the Steel-tipped spear is difficult to obtain, once enchanted it is a firm rival to any slashing weapon for all classes.
