Doru (3.5e Equipment)

A doru is a heavy spear that is usually between 8 and 10 feet long, often favored by hoplites. A doru has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe. You may wield a doru one-handed if you bear a shield (other than a buckler) in your other hand. If you use a ready action to set a doru against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging character.
