There is one REALLY good spear, so good it's worth a character with proficiency in spear. You won't find it early on, though. But some pretty good spears are around early. If you want to be spoiled:

In the Druids Grove near Trademeet, belonging to Trademeet quest, is the spear on the Unicorn. Only +2, but with immunity against charm and hold. Very handy considering what monsters you meet later on.

In Sahuagin City you will get Spear of Piercing, +3, +10 piercing damage. One of the best weapons in the game Image

You can also get two +3 spears in the Guarded Compound in the Temple District. Available right away and you get the Celestial Fury and other goody thrown in for good measure.

bahhh ...

another of those topics, where nobody talks about Britney, although she's in the topic.

you really shouldn't do that !!! Image

idea: there should be a +6 spear in the game called "Britney". Image Image Image (maybe only funny to the german-speaking ones)

And nobody mentioned halcyon, the +3 spear you get in the catacombs under graveyard district.

The Britney Spear: Spear +6

This spear has been cursed by many a valiant warrior who thought it would aid him greatly in battle. While it is a spear of potent enchantment, the spear is semi-sentient and has the unfortunate tendency to sing in a high-pitched, nasal tone during battle, distracting the wielder almost to the point of insanity.

STATISTICS

Equipped Abilities: Cursed, +2 to all saving throws, -2 to dexterity. 15% chance per successful hit of casting Wail of the Banshee on wielder.
THACO: +6
Damage: 1d8 +6

The Halcyon is only a +1 spear with 1 extra piont of electrical damage IIRC.
THE best spear in the game is the Spear of Withering found on one of the Drow merchents in the underdark. Its +4 and it adds and extra 3 points of poison damage me thinks.

Nightmares isn't a new spell, it's in the spell list on 3e DnD (and not very good either).

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"

I reckon that Stonehege was build by the contemporary equivalent of Microsoft, whereas Avebury was definitely an Apple circle.

I remember they posted at IGN that there will actually will be a spear +6 in ToB. I can't imagine anyone being immune to that.
And by the way, can you hit Kangaxx with the spear of peircing? It does have +10 damage. :rolleyes:
