2h Piercing?

Postby Arilin Nydelahar » Thu Dec 21, 2006 4:35 pm

With lances and such in the game, shouldn't paladins have a 2h pierce skill? Do the lances fall under 2h misc? otherwise seems kinda jipped.

If its flagged as piercing, then yes it is a 2h misc weapon. Didn't you ever get a dragon spear from CC just for the purpose of practicing 2h misc?:P

I think it was either Waelos or Dhurn who got me to do it. Weapon skills are pretty easy to notch, and its not like a 2h weapon is doing anything anyway so I figured I might as well get another 99.

You didn't even take the exotic weapon proficiency first :(

Considering that one of the BG weapon shops sells a halfway decent 2 hander lance, I am surprised that every paladin type doesnt have a fair 2h misc skill by the time they hit 20 or so. Hell, I used to hand them out like candy to any 2handing noob that hadn't scrounged up something better.

I remember fighting ZK guards for weapons in a group back when nobody had decent eq. I guess nowadays people just go straight for the iconic weapons (2h sword) and skip the low-level non-noob gear.

FWIW, 2h spears are simple weapons in 3.5, though I believe there does exist something called a Greatspear in one of the supplements that might require EWP.

A lance is HARDLY a spear. If it is included in that archetype that is weetoddid.

Even looking at lances they are just considered a martial weapon which fighters, paladins, rangers, etc. are all considered proficient.

Er, the link is to longspears. Lances are indeed another category :P

Yes there is (Complete Warrior), and yes it does. I am not entirely sure why it requires a feat to get a piercing equivilent to a greatsword, though.

Because "balanced weapons" is a feature they won't be releasing until 4ed at the earliest :P
