Spears are versatile weapons (can be used both one and two hands) in 5e. I don’t know why Larian made them only two handed. Perhaps it’s an animation issue?
No clue. But yeah, spears should be able to be used with shields but that would reduce their damage to 1D6.
Spears as versatile weapons able to be used either 1-handed or 2-handed would make me consider these as opposed to defaulting to the stereotypical longsword/rapier.
Perhaps it’s an animation issue?
That would be my bet. I would also be willing to bet that they are at least looking at a way to fix it.
Rumor has it, they are busy looking into making Bulls climbing ladders instead of this.
