Javelin
Equipment, Weapon
A light throwing spear.
From the book
The javelin is a 2 lb. hand-thrown weapon dealing 1-6 damage, needing a Strength of 8, and priced at 5 S.P. among the missile weapons.
As a hand-thrown weapon its effective range is 5 ft. per point of the thrower's Strength, with long range out to 10 ft. per point. The winged Zephyr, who cannot wear armor, are renowned fighters, chiefly thanks to their mastery of the javelin, the sling and the short bow. One dose of venom coats four spear or javelin heads, and light ballistae hurl javelins as their ammunition.
