Hi there !

I was looking in the datasheets for polearms attacks, and I found that the 'impale' attack had a 'streak' effect ... but I didn't found anything about this 'streak' ... what is this ? a frightened effect ?

Streak is an aoe effect in a line. Think lightning bolt in tabletop. Maybe it represents throwing the spear?

In the "Copy of PFO Wiki - Official Data", there's a tab named "Source Effects" that gives a description of each Effect. It's a bit cumbersome to get to, but very useful.

My bad, it's not in the "Copy of", it's in "Nihimon's Lookup Data".

From an early draft of effects:

Effect name: Streak
Type: AoE
Description: This is a line AoE that affects all targets intersected by a line drawn from the attacker through the target up to the maximum range of the attack.

Not sure if it has changed since alpha started.

Streak is, as noted, a line AoE up to the range of the attack. The spear attack is a melee streak, so it will hit multiple targets if they're in a line and really close together. Basically, stabbing so hard it goes all the way through people and stabs the people behind them. Like a boss.
