Poison-tipped spear

Revision as of 20:47, 6 November 2020 by Egocarib (talk | contribs) (The claim about PV 5 is not true, it only has PV 5 on critical hits (due to the +1 bonus on crits). Otherwise it acts as 4/4 1d2 weapon, like all thrown weapons.)
As of Patch This information is reliable as of patch 2.0.202.1.

The poison-tipped spear is a weapon commonly wielded by snapjaw spearfiends. It is a thrown weapon which inflicts poison if it penetrates. It can be used as a melee weapon as well, and will inflict poison when used in that fashion.

Thrown Weapon Behavior

Main article: Thrown weapon combat

Like all thrown weapons:

  • The poison-tipped spear's throwing penetration is unaffected by strength.[1]
  • If the poison-tipped spear is used as a melee weapon, it acts only as a →4/4  1d21-2 (Avg: 1.5) cudgel weapon.[2]
