    But spears ain't much shorter anyway.

    Long, long ago when D&D was quite new, I and several other polearm and greatsword users from the Society for Creative Anachronisms were asked to stage a fight in a 10' dungeon corridor for a D&D con. There were no problems. There would be less problem with a bow as archers do not get involved in close quarter combat. Hopefully.

    But, the one on the left (XIV's) is the far more common, practical, and thereby "realistic" length?
