Phalanx Fighting

You adopt the fighting style of the hoplite, with spear and shield, adept at protecting those in their formation on the field of battle, and gain the following benefits: • When using a spear or a Simple or finesse weapon in one hand and a shield in the other, the weapon’s damage die changes as if you wielded the weapon in two hands, from a d6 to a d8 or a d8 to a d10. (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). • For each ally using this ability you gain +1 armor class. Reach weapons behind the phalanx attack at advantage.
