Spear of Doom

(Dragonlance Campaign Setting, page 87, DnD 3.5)

[General, Fighter Bonus Feat]

Few can avoid death on your spearpoint when you brace yourself for their attack.

Prerequisite

Base attack bonus +1

Benefit

When you use the Ready action to set a spear or spearlike weapon against a charge, you gain a +4 bonus on your attack roll and deal double damage to a charging foe. If you use your readied action to attack a foe who enters a square you threaten without charging, you still gain a +4 bonus on your attack roll, but you do not deal double damage.

Special

Weapons that may be set against a charge or readied in this manner include the spear, longspear, trident, halberd, and dwarven urgrosh.

Normal

Setting a spear or similar weapon against a charge allows you to deal double damage against a charging foe or attack an approaching foe when he enters a square you threaten, but you do not gain any attack bonus for doing so.
