[QUOTE="Kwitchit, post: 2877932, member: 38694"] I think the Dwarven Urgrosh was probably usable, as would be any other "haft-with-a-spear-on-the-end". I've seen a lot of ancient spears/pikes where the butt was pointed so that it could be used on someone who managed to get past the points. In fact, I might use these house rules for spears: Spearbutts can be pointed or round. Pointed do the damage of a shortspear sized for the wielder, rounded do damage equivalent to a quarterstaff one size smaller than the wielder. A spear with a pointed butt costs an extra 5 sp. A spear butt is not a reach weapon, and people attacking with it take a -4 nonproficiency penalty unless they have the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (spearbutt) feat. Having this feat also allows them to threaten adjacent squares with their spear. Then maybe introduce another feat, requiring EWP (spearbutt), to use a spear as a double weapon with TWF a la Sky from Hero. Call it Double-ended Spearfighting. [/QUOTE]
