I know what you mean, pretty much any spear probably COULD be thrown and IIRC in older editions of D&D the spear was throwable, albeit with a fairly short range, with the javelin being longer ranged and doing less damage.I'm not sure the way they broke it down in 4e is really worse though. One option would be a feat that allows throwing regular spears with say a range of 3/6 or something. That wouldn't be absurd at all and probably wouldn't be a bad feat though it might need some other minor benefit to make it attractive. You have to admit though, most people who are primarily wielding a spear probably don't throw their main weapon much.</blockquote>
