Not possible without coding an entirely custom Flurry of Blows.

They are mostly meant to fill the niche of underrepresented weapon types, such as scythes, short swords, darts and others. Most of them will be obtainable through new merchant NPCs — one at the surface and one in the Underdark. It means that, while all of the new weapons are added to the loot table, some of them are loot table exclusive, obtainable only through a lucky epic drop.

Happy treasure hunting!

In a coming update, we'll be making a few changes to polearms. First off, all polearms except the scythe and magic staff will be getting increased range. Spear reach will be increasing to twice the current range while Halberds and Quarterstaves will receive a slightly shorter increase. That is 3.0 for spears and 2.4 for Halberds and Quarterstaves.

In addition, we will be implementing shortspears. Shortspears are 1d6 x3 one-handed weapons, with a standard melee weapon range of 1.5. They are mechanically classed as Tiny in order to have them use the proper animation set. This also means both medium- and small-sized races are able to use them one-handed. Shortspears cannot be finessed.

Shortspear Stat Card

Base Damage: 1d6
Base Critical Threat: x3
Base Damage Type: Piercing
Feats Required: Simple, Druid, or Spirit Shaman

Shortspears count as stormlord weapons. Duelist abilities that affect piercing weapons do work with shortspears. Shortspears, despite being technically Tiny weapons, cannot be finessed, due to hardcoding. Because shortspears are not meant to be a small weapon for the purpose of dual-wielding, shortspears are set as main hand weapons only: You can only ever use one shortspear at a time. They can still be dual-wielded with other weapons, though, and you can still do Big Spear + Shortspear with Monkey Grip. This may be looked at later, but I want to start conservatively.

Shortspears are actually two weapon types in one. Javelins are also available. Javelins have the same stats as normal shortspears, but also include a throw javelin property. Javelins come in quivers of 6, and one javelin is spent with every throw (6 charges, 1 charge per use). A javelin throw is a ranged touch attack that scales in damage based off of the character's BAB. Javelin throws have a Reflex save for half and use either the character's Dex modifier or their Strength modifier (if they have Brutal Throw).

Javelins may one day be edited to use proper attack rolls, like Shield Bash does. Ranged Touch Attack version is a placeholder for now.

Javelin Attack

Damage: 2d8, +2d8 per the number of attacks a character has (2d8 at BAB0, 4d8 at BAB6, 6d8 at BAB11, 8d8 at BAB16, 10d8 at BAB21, 12d8 at BAB26).

Reflex Save: DC 15 + Dex mod (or 15+Str mod if PC has Brutal Throw). The DC increases by one point at BAB 23, 26, and 29.

If the latter, and since they use charges, can Javelins be recharged at the charger-stations?
