They only function as arrows

hand-to-hand weapons would have been nice..

Iron Knuckles, Claws (like the Assassins weapons in Diablo 2), etc..

What? Really?

That's... kind of a slap in the face to everyone who desperately wants spears.

I would rather not have anything than that, honestly.

Throwing knives, pole arm with a flag, cause it would be cool to "spear" a sabre cat from horseback.
