Longspear
Spear, Military, Blade, Polearm, China, Middle East, Classical, Landsknecht, Latin Europe, Africa
A spear but longer than normal. This includes the shorter range of pikes, as well as a variety of regional spears used mainly for warfare but also sometimes for hunting. These are less agile at shorter ranges than smaller spears, but have the advantage of greater reach. The greater length also provides leverage in thrusts which helps punch through armor, hence a good AP bonus.
Landsknecht officer's spear or short pike. This would be a 9 / -1 / 3 weapon
