A throwing spear is exactly what it sounds like: a spear optimized to be thrown long distances and strike like thunder. A throwing spear is a martial thrown weapon, and can (in theory) be used in one hand to fight in melee, although it is really too light for such duty, inflicting a -2 penalty when doing so. The light shaft and long, needle-tipped point make it very effective, with a surprisingly long range, and while it is not common to score a critical hit with a throwing spear, when you get lucky, it's something to behold. The throwing spear belongs to the "Thrown" weapon groups.
