Just some additional usage ideas for the Spear.
Shield Use: The most obvious change would be to make it so that when a spear and shield are held at the same time both can be used at the same time.
Spear Dispensing: An idea that's made its rounds already. Basically a dispenser dispenses a spear in a damaging jab and then retracts said spear.
Prodding: When holding a spear in the charging attack and not moving fast enough to deal damage the spear can still knock back entities short distances by shaking the spear. This wouldn't damage or aggro the entity.
