	Of the "simple" starting weapons, spears are the strongest against single targets.

Of the "simple" starting weapons, spears are the strongest against single targets. Because spears can reach, they can often get 1 free attack per fight, which makes up for the worse stats compared to [[mace]]s or [[falchion]]s. Even if you didn't start with one, you are likely to get at least one spear off of a [[gnoll (monster)\|gnoll]] pack in the early dungeon. At 0 skill, spears are outright better than plain [[whip]]s and [[short sword]]s (if you aren't stabbing).

	Polearms in general are useful if you have some means of ~~creating distance. Characters with fast [[movement]] speed can [[kiting\|kite]] enemies.

Polearms in general are useful if you have some means of maintaining a 1 tile gap, whether it be [[summon]]s/[[allies]], [[Grave Claw]], or [[deep water]].
