Re: So what does Form Mastery (Spear) actually do?
Established where? The only thing like that I know is an obscure line in GURPS Martial Arts, and the weapons tables in the Basic Set and Low Tech explicitly deny that you can use a Spear with Staff skill.

It should really be implicit denial, I would agree. But when that clashes with explicit references to using spears with Staff, the implied denial has to lose out.

Kromm and others have house-ruled ways to use a spear with Staff skill since GURPS 3e, but I am talking about the RAW in the two specific books you cited. I don't see any reference to using a spear with Staff skill in those books, just defaulting Spear from Staff-2.

I suppose you've set the goalposts consistently, but as I said I will not play along with 'in a world where we've never heard of Martial Arts, only the Basic Set and Low Tech'.

Except for some allusions : Low tech companion 2, p14 , chapter on Butt Spike. And technically, but probably not what you are asking about, also on Low tech companion 2, p14 , box on throwing (staff / throwing spear) Low tech p73 (use a broken pilum as a staff) Basic p 376 (parrying with improvised weapons) |
