Are you still working on this mod at all? I'd love for it to be available for the Definitive Edition.

Any plans for adding this for def edition?

Does this mod affect NPCs who wield spears or just the PCs?

Korlis, check out https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1217394169&searchtext=scoundrel . This mod is compatible with 1-handed spears and allows any "one handed" weapons to be used with scoundrel skills (including backstab).

Absolutely. Just open the stat editor in the Divinity Engine and change staffs from twohanded = yes to twohanded = no.
That's as far as my modding expertise goes. I'm pretty novice. I'm not sure how to change animations or anything.

Could something like this be applied to staffs? So you could have a staff and shield build? Or a staff and sword?

Is it possible to make the grafic of dual-wielding spears like dual sowards or something like that?

I was literally talking about one-handed spears earlier today! Should be able to use shields with them...

I was wondering if it would be too much to ask to make them also able to backstab (and dare I dream, compatible with Scoundrel skills)?

It changes the "Is One Handed" from No, to Yes. Any mod that edits the parent spear stat will conflict with this mod. You'll have to figure out via trial and error which mods conflict, then politely beg the author to make a version that supports (or contains) one-handed spears.

I can't do anything to troubleshoot or make this mod compatible with others unless I remake their mods from scratch, then make spears 1 handed = yes. :P

its still not working as a 1-h weapon for me and ive tried multiple spear weapons. is this a mod that just modifies the stat so that spears get the 1-h damage bonus, or are they modded so that it is entirely a 1-h weapon?

loaded this mod, made a new character to test it, spears using two-hands, tried 2 different spears so far.

I would prefer that the spear was one-handed but that it had a special attack skill that added pierce damage.

@numb You may have already figured it out yourself, but I just tested it. Spears benefit from one-handed with this mod enabled.
Sorry for the delayed response.

So does this also alter which combat Ability applies to spears? Trying to decide to invest in one or two handed (two handed description still says it applies to spears)

Still working fine on my end. I load it before the Tempest Class Mod, but it likely doesn't matter too much (it shouldn't touch the Tempest files)

Any idea which mod is causing the conflict?
To be honest, I don't think you can do much in the way of compatibility. Someone has to specifically edit the _spears parent value in order to conflict with this mod. If they do, the only solution is to ask them politely to also change the 2h value to 1 handed for you (which isn't a lot of work).

@Dashboard Jesus - I"m not certain. They're definitely listed under 2h, still. That would be my bet. I'll take a look when I get a moment.

I don't get the 1-handed Spears to work. Neither this mod, or your other with Physical damage. I have this one loaded first out of all my mods, then the Tempest class as second, but still I can't use the Spear as 1H? Help? :)

Do I need to worry about load order when using the Temptest Class mod? I would assume load it after, but idk.

So far so good. Thanks. One question, do I need to be putting points into 1 handed or 2 handed to gain damage bonuses on level up?

@Kill That Zombie
This mod was ACTUALLY made as an alternative to a 2h piercing mod made by
Liyalai, which can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1149890133

Can the spears still be used 2 handed or does it force all spears to be 1 handed? if so could you make one that just changes the damage of spears to piercing but leaves them 2 handed?

@Llendar Twain
Already exists. Check the description for a link.

Thanks for the mod but could you add a mod onky with 1-handed Spears without the piercing Damage, it*s a litte OP for my taste

I'm about as new to modding as you can possibly imagine. "Plans" are a little over my paygrade at the moment. :P
I'll definitely be playing around with loot tables, soon, though, so I'll keep this in mind. No promises!!

thanks so much, question any plans of adding Casting rings? those are none DPS rings with higher stats on them like 4 INT + the empty hand combo sucker punch
