| − | A '''silver spear''' is a kind of [[weapon]]. It can be used in [[melee]], or [[throw]]n. It deals the same base damage as a regular [[spear]], but can also cause [[silver damage]]. Being a spear, it gives the standard +2 to-hit against [[kebabable]] monsters. However, this bonus becomes meaningless late in the game, where the majority of monsters are non-kebabable.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It does only one point less damage on average against small or medium monsters than a [[silver saber]], and the same against large monsters (which include most major [[demon]]s), making it an attractive option for roles restricted in saber, such as [[Cavemen]], [[Priest]]s, and especially [[Monk]]s. Barbarians and Valkyries might also consider this weapon for two-weaponing as they can be skilled in spear versus basic in saber, overcoming the damage difference.
