off the top of my head i think the really good spears come later but if you're after item spoilers there are loads right here

Edit: If you want to avoid looking at that Joluv (the bonus merchant in Copper Coronet) has a +3 spear apparently - i don't count retail adverts as spoilers

good effort by the way [img]smile.gif[/img] spears aren't the obvious power choice as you know (they don't have other magical effects like swords do for instance)

kensai equipment-wise you only have one choice to get negatve plane protection (which you probably already know about - it's a weapon) so you might well want that unless you're roleplaying only carrying spears!

shield amulet is a must

boots of speed are your friend

like i said earlier there are swords you could carry that give you mirror image, haste, free action, restistance to charm etc. useful but not spears [img]smile.gif[/img]

you're only doing piercing damage - some enemies have quite high resistance i think and clay golems will laugh in your face while simultaneoulsy smashing it in for you (not a bad trick) - again this might be a 'roleplaying' choice but i'd be inclined to put a point in 'staff'

if you get get hold of as many 'summoning' items as you can that would be useful (spider, bottle, horn, heml)

nothing else obvious i don't think - enjoy [img]smile.gif[/img]
