[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 1803352, member: 6939"] It isn't much worse. Yeah a longsword will do a bit over a point a hit more, but you can throw the shortspear. With quickdraw, you can throw it and keep going. A long spear gives AoO when they close. If you were willing to go with a polearm, I would say go reach/trip/etc. Shortspear. Get quickdraw, power attack, rapid shot, and someway to carry a bunch of spears. You can even do your full attack melee with PA and still throw the spear, and draw another one. You never have to give up your Rapid Shot. Or can use a shield, or TWF, but it being medium, I would not suggest it. You don't get AoO's but... get a returning short spear. Now you can have a magical spear to PA with, and still throw, and it will return to you. Better yet, also get a shield you can attack with, and still get AoO's. Long spear: use the range. If you can add a hook, cool. But that is not RAW. get the feat that allows for extra AoO's, and any other feat that builds on that. Feats that give you extra goodies when you get AoO's. There *is* a feat that will stop them from closing if your AoO works. Get Spring attack. When they close you get AoO, they get one attack. You move 5', get attack, and then move 5 more feet. They don't get AoO, but need to close again. You get a 2:1 advantage. Cleave could be cool, since with reach more creatures are within reach. Not sure about this one. Get quickdraw, and daggers/shuriken/etc. You can throw the whatevers, until they try closing, and they switch to spear work.
