The northern spear is a a two-handed weapon that can be thrown, with hit chance and damage determined by the Spear combat skill.
This spear type is one of the unique and typical weapons of the Northern cultures.
Usage
This is arguably the most useful of the spear-type weapons, given its strong Point damage combined with the ability to use it effectively while skiing.
Maximum damage output from a Spear-trained character may require a different choice.
Secondary uses
It's the only spear that functions as a ski stick, when wielded as either a primary or secondary weapon. If the player loses one or both ski sticks, this spear can act as a stand-in.
It is also usable for fishing.
Availability
A new character from any of the northern tribes has a good chance of starting with a northern spear.
Though a powerful spear, fine and masterwork quality northern weapons are incredibly rare or non-existant in the current version (3.17). - Might need an update.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the Northern spear thusly:
The northern spear has a long, sharp blade and it is used in hunting. It also has a special cross-piece usually in the dull end of the shaft, so that the spear can be used as a ski stick.
