2handed shuriken

If this is possible, I would love to see it. Though, I'm not sure it is. Or if it is, its not desirable. :(

Legionaries [Winks to Praxes]

[you axed for it]

Praxes was a hoplite! But yes, great idea. I think the various advantages would overrule the loss of the 1.5 STR mod, personally.

[KRUNTO]

I am 100% in favor of spears being made one handed.

[One_With_Nature]

It would look cool, but no. Spear is the best simple weapon!

[Ebok]

I really wish weapons could be scripted to auto two hands if the offhand is empty tbh. :( A lot of weapons would be so much cooler. And as much as I like the shield spear combo, I'd rather have at least one simple weapon with the 1.5x strength.

A shortspear would rock. So would javelins, but that's a different topic. Would be really cool I think to have shortspear as an available weapon type.

[BRESTON]

Im generally against anything that will require HAKs

[you axed for it]

Obviously it wouldn't be discussed if it required a HAK just to do.

[Irregular]

Yes! The ability to duel wield spears, Thats aestheticly pleasing!

[Lenthis]

Dont think its possible with out haks gents :\

[Egon the Monkey]

It is not, you need a hak that creates a 1 handed shortspear. You need a hak for custom weapons, and such weapons also can't have weapon focus/specialisation feats work for them.

Changing it would IMO be a bit silly anyway as it would give Simple weapons a 3 lb Battleaxe. Currently it's a pretty good weapon, a lower damage, light two-hander. In fact the only non-Martial 2hander since the Staff got chaged to a double weapon.
