[QUOTE="mattdm, post: 4285581, member: 15382"] Is there something I'm missing? Looks like Hit & Run works as an at-will for a regular spear, and you can throw javelins with Nimble Strike just fine. And probably Twin Strike too, although arguably you'd need either Quick Draw or a magic weapon. For first level encounter powers, choose Fox's Cunning or Evasive Strike (or potentially Two-Fanged Strike). For daily powers, Hunter’s Bear Trap is good, and although the flavor text of Split the Tree says "arrows", the alternate visual of a javelin thrown from each hand works for me. Or if you want to avoid relying on ranged attacks and just want to stick to a melee spear, consider what you mean by "my character is a ranger who wields a spear" and consider if the fighter class will work for you. I'm quite certain that works wonderfully in reverse for the other And if that's still not making you happy, well, hopefully there will be some more per-class build options in the future, although I'm not optimistic since that seemed clearly wide open for the 3.5 ranger and monk and they never did anything with it. I'm really not seeing this as a huge 4E shortcoming.... [/QUOTE]
