Colossal Spear Feat Expansion

Post by Svrtr » Wed May 17, 2023 5:25 pm

Before anything else, I must say the colossal spears are badass and potato did an awesome job on them.

With that said, as is they currently only benefit from the polearm line of feats. Given that large races can only use the colossal hammer, axe, and sword for a twohanded weapon and have a selection of 1h weapons approximately on par with polearms (greatsword, maul, great axe, heavy flail versus halberd, pike, spear, scythe if we don't count exotic weapons which benefit both a la naginata, bastard sword, katana and not factoring greatclub which is 20 x2) but likewise are somewhat limited, it doesn't seem unfair to allow the colossal spear to benefit from either 2h or polearm.

This would give both versatility given that polearm has some spicy weapons like the elder dream or drown pike or the halberd options vs the 2h options which few fewer niches comparatively but do well with damage stacking options, and allow for just a more generalized build since in either case they will lack the versatility a 1h edged or 1h concussion focus will have where the latter covers both 1h and 2h weapons as well. Similarly the two-bladed weapons benefit from either polearm or 2h edged and thus such a change is not unprecedented.

Tangentially related, but likewise a medium polearm weapons for small races. This niche is lacking and is saddening.
