Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5274696" data-attributes="member: 50895">Wider Spear feat chain and for non-combat use?Getting ideas while reading Water Bob's Cimmerian Blood thread in the Plots and Places board, how about a wider feat chain involving spears? I know that swords will most likely always be a preferred weapon for most Clan Warriors, especially using Pathfinder rules regarding swords over spears, but I like some of the ideas Water Bob is suggesting for the spear. Not sure if he's using Conan RPG specific feats for the spear, and without reading Mongoose's rules on such, I think it might worth developing some extra feats for spear, just to add versatility and give a reason for warriors to take it as a secondary weapon.Use a spear as a pole vault to grant DC bonus to Acrobatics 'jump' checks across gorges and over obstacles. Also perhaps vaulting over an opponent, though incurring an AoO, though an Improved Pole Vaulting might prevent an AoO. Using a spear as a verticle climbing aid, similar to a short, single pole ladder, perhaps DC 5 as per climbing a rope though shorter distance. Sticking the spear into a tree and using as a step. Gaining a bonus to Acrobatics 'balance' checks using pole as a stabilizing bar, or as a walking stick across unstable ground, using as a hand-held spike to brace doors and gates shut (some of this won't be feats so much as additional unskilled uses - those without DC checks.)I probably need to think of a few more combat related spear talents as well.Also, haven't picked up the APG yet, but I understand there are some additional shield capabilities added in the form of new feats, I may want to convert my Clan Warrior to use - comparing to my existing Shield Training feature.So just a couple ideas to throw out there.GP</blockquote>
