The longspear isn't in the PHB equipment list. Is it permissable to refluff a lance? (1d12, reach, drop the special quality). Or a glaive? (1d10, reach, pierce instead of slash). 4e had a longspear with those stats.2. Ideally I would want to make the spear a finesse weapon to better reflect his style from the show. Would this be a bridge too far? I might even be willing to sacrifice some damage for this (1d10 or 1d8, depending on refluffed weapon).Or is this something I should expect to have to get the permission of every AL DM at every table I play? (ETV?) I'd like to know before I finalize the CS so I don't waste my time or have to dumb him down to a "traditional" fighter and swap Str and Dex and throw him into some heavy armor.</blockquote>
