A spear is the oldest type of staff weapon on Tellene. Most spears have long, flat, leaf-shaped or triangular heads and range anywhere from 5 to 9 feet in length. D&D players should note that spears can be set against a charge with a ready action, to deal double damage.

Along with spears come lances, a long spear-like weapon gener-ally used only in jousts and tournaments, the soldiers of Tellene finding it fairly impractical on the battlefield. Lances often come with vamplates, a metal or leather guard designed to protect the hand and arm.

Alhanam: This is a short wooden shaft topped with a socketed steel head. It is generally found on the eastern side of Reanaaria Bay, on the fringes of the Khydoban Desert.

Amafar: The amafar is a wooden horseman’s lance topped with a socketed, forked steel head. This weapon can be found along the southeastern edge of Reanaaria Bay.

Amarahn: The Svimohzish use this all-steel spear with a pyramidal head rather than a flat one.

Amarchi: This spear has a long wooden shaft topped with a tanged steel head. The blunt end of the amarchi is fitted with a spike, making this a double weapon. This weapon can be found along the southeastern edge of Reanaaria Bay.

D&D players should note that the amarchi is a double weapon, and can be used as if two-weapon fighting with a one-handed weapon and a light weapon (see Chapter 8: Combat, Two-Weapon Fighting in the D&D Player’s Handbook). Of course, when using the amarchi in one hand, it cannot be used as a double weapon.

of the victim without repeating the damage. This weapon originates in the ancient ruins of the Elos Desert, and can now be found in many areas of Tellene.

Colurarel: This is a wooden gray elf spear topped with a tanged steel head.

Coronal: A coronal is not a type of lance, but rather a shape the head of a lance can be made into. A lance with a coronal ends with three blunted tips for jousting instead of one point sharpened for mortal combat. The multiple tips further reduce the damage of the attack by spreading the point of impact. Using a coronal on a lance reduces the damage by one die type. If the die type is already a d4, the coronal lance does 1d4 nonlethal damage instead of actual damage.

Harpoon: This spear has a wooden or iron shaft with a wide, socketed iron head. On one side of the head, a large protruding hook curves back towards the handle. Harpoons are primarily used for hunting Large-sized and greater sea life, primarily whales.

Harpoons can be found in any coastal region on Tellene. Anyone

found carrying a harpoon in or around the city of Baneta (City of the Whale) is subject to persecution and possibly arrest.

If you inflict damage on your opponent, the harpoon may lodge in the victim if the victim fails a Reflex saving throw (DC 10 + damage you inflicted). If attached to a trailing rope that you control (make an opposed Strength check), the harpooned creature can only move within the limits that the rope (30-foot long) allows. If the harpooned creature attempts to cast a spell, it must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 15) or lose the spell. The harpooned creature can pull the harpoon from its wound if it has two free hands and takes a full-round action to do so, but in so doing it takes damage equal to the initial damage the harpoon dealt. For example, if you hit a creature with a harpoon and deal 8 points of damage, and the creature removes the harpoon, it takes another 8 points of damage.
