<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''javelin''' is a lightweight [[Thrown Weapons|throwing weapon]] that resembles a [[Awl-pike|pike]], however it tends to be a bit shorter. It is wielded one-handed and has damage potential equal to that of the [[spear|spear]] when used as a melee weapon. Since many attacks result in [[puncture]] [[critical]] [[Hitpoint|damage]] it is a less effective weapon choice when engaging puncture resistant targets.<br />
