in Feedback and Suggestions
Hi, i wish to suggest a suggestion. this suggestion goes as follows.
i suggest that there be a new type of weapon. now that is probably more complicated than i think but i wish to suggest it nontheless.
Spears and polearms. like halberds, poleaxes, lances (the not extremly wide kind), bardiches, glaives and a variety of polearms
why? polearms are a historially important and common weapon. very effective too. long range and versatile and easy-ish to use. generally spears are among the most simple and common weapons but by no means an ineffective one.
so my suggestion is to implement spears of various types, let them have greater range and some spears might be more defensive counter-attacky and some might be more offensive perhaps?
either way i think they would be a good addition. and naturally i think all races should be able to use them since.. they're spears.
javelins are another story and i think that some spears should be usable with a shield since that is another very effective method of using them with historical precedent.

    Spears are lighter, maybe elves can actually hold this kind of 2hand weapon?

    Polearms are used by groups of tightly packed people, or by cavalry. The polearms used by cavalry are lances which the OP has discounted. I think it would be interesting if they introduced a mechanic with the party code where the characters form a phalanx or maniple if they are armed with the same polearm and the party lead enables it. The party becomes a single unit run by the leader, the mechanic being like a multiple passenger pet. To the game it can be a pet without actually being a pet. Maybe the group phalanx "pet" can have it's own skills.
