(This benefit has no effect if another featurehasalreadyimprovedtheweapon’sdie.) • You may wield spears and war spears as if they had the finesse property. • The thrown range of spears and war spears becomes (range 30/120). • When an ally within 5 feet of you is attacked, you can use your reaction to grant them a +2 bonus to AC against the triggering attack.
