I've read that rt for thrown is based on your strength stat, encumbrance and weapon weight. However, even with an STR bonus of 43(using cman surge), I cannot hurl a spear in less than 5 seconds. If I aim the spear, it doesn't even add the extra second. I'm using it in a one handed grip, I'm not encumbered and the spear weighs 6 pounds. I've also got the strength spell up and it does not make a difference. My stats and skills are below. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong here?
Thank you for any help you can give me on this.

I don't know you're doing anything wrong.
Minimum RT for the spear is 5 seconds. Sounds like you're there. Adding to the intrigue, though -- is a spear really a thrown weapon, or is it truly only a melee weapon that one can hurl if one must.
Spears are cool -- one handed, two handed, and can be chucked. Not sure that makes it a weapon intended to be thrown, though. That's a javelin.

Interesting. I'd ask first if magic were involved (haste / tonis), but I suspect you have that covered?
I'll pull out my spear wielder and mess around a bit, but for what ever reason, I'd pretty much settled on that.
Info I use is from Krakiipedia.org . But, spears aren't listed as 'thrown' weapons -- which is why I have it cemented in my head that you can, but probably shouldn't.

Through the art of creating a new character and adjusting stats until I could throw a spear at 3 seconds, I found that you need a combined bonus of 38 Dex/Agi. In fact, I did not find that there was any point at which I could throw it in 4 seconds, it's a jump from 5 seconds to 3 seconds. It also seems odd as I can throw a javelin in 3 seconds without the combined bonus and the documentation I read (Krakiipedia) said that roundtime for thrown weapons is based on strength, but there ya go.
