Line 194:

** The Necrons also have a variant in the dreaded Warscythe, although it's more of a glaive than a military scythe, and is so deadly it can bypass virtually ''any'' defense, up to and including energy shields and massive sheets of armor.

** The Tau's closest allies, the [[Noble Savage|Kroot]], use [[Schizo-Tech|gunpowder rifles with curved blades on them]], harkening back to the days before Kroot had access to guns and fought with bladed staves.

* ''[[Warhammer]]'' of course has spears, halberds and lances as an option for many infantry and cavalry units in various armies, though different factions tend to have their own styles. [[Our Goblins Are Different|Goblins]] in particular often have spears as their [[Weapon of Choice]], while the [[Lizard Folk|Skinks]] make extensive use of javelins. Halberdiers are common in mercenary units.

** Unique to the Dogs of War list (which is two editions old) is the pike, which as you'd expect functions much like a spear, only significantly more so. They were ''not'' popular with the cavalry-heavy Bretonnian Knights.

* ''[[GURPS]]'' gives all polearms one skill but provides a dizzying variety of different ones in the ''[[Martial Arts]]'' book plus smaller dueling versions of the common ones.

Line 308:

* Kharad from ''[[Evil Islands]]'' carries an unique spear that throws [[Shock and Awe|lightning bolts towards his opponents]].

* ''[[~~Kirbys~~ Return to Dream Land]]'' features the Spear ability, an ability that is also used by Bandana Waddle Dee. It's used mostly for stabbing, but can also be thrown rapidly as a highly effective projectile.
