Questions about spear related weapon augmentation.

[Bill_in_IN]

The spear has one hand and a slightly higher two hand damage stated in the ITL weapons table.

If one uses the spear one handed with a shield in one hand, do they get the charge bonus of an extra die of damage? Do they only get to stab while engaged? I didn't see where ITL requires two handed wielding for a charge bonus. So, I would say that he gets the charge bonus at the one handed damage.

If they use the spear two handed in a charge, that is straight forward charge bonus damage at two handed damage.

Also, there is the spear thrower accessory that allows a decent throw distance but mainly adds a couple of points of damage. However, is there a belt or armor attachment that anchors the back end of the spear that would help to allow one handed wielding with a damage bonus as if it were wielded two handed? The non-tip end of the spear could sit in a cradle that is mounted to the belt or some other set of straps mounted to the torso of the spear man. Is anyone aware of such a device used in conjunction with a spear? It's probably not very practical for the extra point of damage even if one is able to make it work.

I probably should have went to bed instead of posting this but the mind can work in mysterious ways at late times.
