The javelin is a lightweight throwing weapon that resembles a pike, however it tends to be a bit shorter. It is wielded one-handed and has damage potential equal to that of the spear when used as a melee weapon. Since it will only inflict puncture critical damage it is a poor weapon choice when engaging puncture resistant targets.
Alternate Names
- contus
- jaculum
- shail
