° Throw: Damage thr+4 imp || Acc 2 || Range x1/x1.5 || ST 10 || RoF 1 || Shots T(1) || Bulk -6. || Notes: Barbed head. If a thrown pilum hits, it becomes useless except as a staff until straightened. Should it strike a nonmetallic shield – deliberately or on a block – it will stick and deform, penalizing Shield skill: -1 for any pila, -2 if total projectile weight is at least half shield weight, or -4 if total weight equals or exceeds shield weight. Removing each pilum requires a Ready and a ST roll at a penalty equal to its damage roll. In either case, unbending the head requires a free hand and a foot, and takes three Ready maneuvers and a ST roll.

HOUSE RULES

ARMOUR
1) Total feet coverage (top and underside) is considered to be 20% instead of 10% in order to make the footwear stats consistent with the feet armour stats. Usually armour covers only the top of the feet, not the underside.
2) Moccassins, like Shoes, should have -1 DR vs. impaling, as reported here but not in official rules.
3) Nape Guard is the protection for the back of the head that leaves the ears uncovered. Cost and weight are 4% of torso armour (basically, the coverage of the bascinet - which is 25% of torso armour - without the skull coverage [-20%] and the eras coverage [-1%]).

WEAPONS
1) Here GURPS Spear used one-handed is considered Reach 1, 2* instead of Reach 1*, because of coherence.
2) Here GURPS weapons under the Shortsword Skill are considered Reach C, 1 instead of Reach 1 for thrusting attacks only, also because of coherence.
3) The Falcata game stats are based on much later Cutlass, but of course the Falcata or Machaera Hispana is TL 2.
4) The Heavy Pilum is a heavier variant of GURPS Pilum, having base cost of $60 (+4 CF for weapons made entirely of metal, like the Iberian [B]Saunion or Soliferrum - which give them DR 6, and also +$60 for barbed tip) and base weight of 5 lbs.
