1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

A cross spear is a rather strange weapon, somewhere in between that of a scythe and spear. It has a vertical blade and halfway through that a horizontal one, nearly the same length as the vertical portion, with edges as sharp as the blades on a scythe. A cross spear has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe. If you use a ready action to set a cross spear against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging character, damage done through this can only be piercing. In addition a cross spear counts as both a scythe and a spear for purposes of feats, prestige class requirements and other such affects. Because of a cross spear’s shape, you can use it to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the weapon to avoid being tripped.
