Wide Trident

A wide trident is a two-handed spear-type weapon that is good for blocking. With a high Spear skill rating, this can be a strong defensive fighting alternative to using shields. Wide tridents do not seem to perform well when thrown.

Wide tridents are also fairly useful for fishing. While they may not be superior to a good fishing rod, they seem to be much more readily available in masterwork quality.

''A wide trident may have, in spite of its name, more than three points. It is mainly used in fishing, because its width makes it rather a clumsy weapon for fighting.''
