This mod turns spears into the viable long range one handed melee weapons they should be.

It's a part of my spear mod collection

• Proper Spears - Forward Facing With Thrust Attacks
• Loyal Spears - Auto Pickup And Return To Owner
• Harpoon Melee Attack And Upgrading
• Atgeir/Polearm Animation Fix
• Combined Weapon Skills - Spears And Polearms (currently in testing)

Spears are now held the correct way around in their idle animation and are always ready to release a proper deadly thrust attack at chest level with the same range as an atgeir. And you can still throw them just like before!

This mod affects any spear that uses the default overhead poke animation, including modded ones. Compatible with MaxAxe.

If Harpoon Melee Attack And Upgrading is installed, this will also apply to the abyssal harpoon.
