I'm thinking that Steve Jackson nerfed them for a reason with the second ed
ition.... But I don't remember what Advanced Melee has them at.

Yeah, that's a funny one.
Melee first edition spear damage 1 + 2
Melee second and third edition is 1 + 1
Melee fourth and fifth edition is 1 + 2
There are similar differences with chainmail and plate mail.
My exhaustive (some might say anal) investigation of Melee / Wizard
versions is still in progress, but based on what I have seen so far, it is
my belief that Howard started with the first edition text when creating the
fourth edition.
