In the Complete Warrior book a great spear is an Exotic weapon with reach. In the write up unlike other reach weapons it does not state that the great spear can't attack adjacent fpes.

Is this a typo?

Since the great spear is an Exotic weapon it seems it was meant to be able to reach 10ft as well as attack adjacent foes as well.

Reach weapons cannot attack adjacent enemies unless stated otherwise.

Thats just it all the other reach weapon state they can NOT attack adjacent hexes but the great spear leaves this out. The other reach weapons in the Complete warrior say can't attack ajdacent hexes er squars.

No, I would say that it can't attack adjacent foes.

is there a WOTC email address I can send this question to? I thought I found the website but the site wasn't working properly.
