Fiction and history are full of those amazing warriors who used a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. And we're not talking about a shortspear, we're talking about fourteen foot long pikes in the case of Alexander's Macedonians (at the extreme end of things). Having seen reenactors putting on demonstrations, it's pretty clear even fairly long spears (I've seen 8 footers moved fairly reliably) can be wielded one-handed by weekend fantasy geeks, let alone fighters as DnD defines them.
Since I have yet to see any feat that allows for this (I'll redact if I'm wrong), I propose the following feat;
Sarissa [Heroic Tier]
Prereqs 15 Str 15 Dex
Permits wielder to use any spear he is proficient with in one hand.
Thoughts?
