In relation to the general javelin of the legionary, the Pilum, this version was weighted down with a lead ball, giving the weapon more mass. More mass, of course, means it was more likely to punch through armor.

Status of Set 8

Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled to players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.

As is, one will notice missing elements, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; ability titles are English, rather than Latin.
