Spear-thrower Martial Ranged Weapons Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties Spear-thrower 5 gp 1d8 piercing 1 lb. Ammunition (range 50/200), finesse, loading, special, two-handed Despite its name, this weapon uses javelins, not spears, as ammunition. While equipped and with ammunition available, you may make a melee or ranged attack with the ammunition itself without having to stow or drop the spear-thrower. A spear-thrower can be used as the weapon component for the shillelagh spell, gaining a melee attack of its own that uses your spellcasting modifier. The normal ranged function of the spear-thrower does not use your spellcasting modifier. 0.00 (0 votes) Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Weapons
