I simply can't find a decent image that reflects my stature.

But the point I'm getting at is that instead of just having spears as an individual weapon, instead make more types, such as halberds, which can only slash, and are slow, spears, which can only stab, and are fast, and bladed polearms, which are capable of both slashing and stabbing maneuvers, and are mid-speed. It'd be silly to make a complete new list of animations and a concept for long-ranged melee weapons, and then only make one type for each material. It's a good niche of weapon that I would very much like to see filled as much as possible.
