A silver spear is a kind of weapon. It can be used in melee, or thrown. It deals the same base damage as a regular spear, but can also cause silver damage.
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 demons), making it an attractive option for roles restricted in saber, such as Cavemen, Priests, and especially Monks. Valkyries might also consider this weapon for two weaponing as they can be skilled in spear versus basic skilled in saber, overcoming the damage difference.
Average damage calculation
We assume the player has expert skill in spear, which gives a +2 damage bonus. A blessed weapon deals 1d4 extra damage against demons and undead, and being of silver, an added 1d20 to silver-hating monsters. The worst case scenario is against a non-undead, non-demon, non-silver-hating monster. The best case scenario is against a undead/demon silver-hating monster.
Weapon | Against regular small monsters | Against regular large monsters | Worst case scenario | Best case scenario |
---|---|---|---|---|
Blessed silver spear+0 | ||||
Blessed silver spear +7 | ||||
Blessed silver spear +9 |
Despite the inclusion in the above table, attempting to enchant a silver spear to +9 is generally a very bad idea, as they're usually rare.
