What happens when you try to throw the spear? Can you throw it with a -2 penalty, or not at all?

Just curious :confused:

Read the Monkey Grip feat, but I am pretty sure it says melee weapon.

If you throw a weapon, it is no longer being used as a melee weapon.

Hmmm, any other perspectives?

Get the Strongarm Bracers in Magic Item Compendium which allows you to use weapons 1 size larger with no penalty.
