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]
