Not to alarm anybody, I'm still just brain-storming and bouncing ideas off people. So to rip loose:
Would a short, thrusting spear (think spartans, a 5-6 foot long spear, very easily used in one-hand while holding a shield in the other) be a viable one hander? I'm guessing some people would object to this, considering it is a spear would it fall between the polearm or one-handed category? To make it a valid one-hander, it'd need to be short enough, and more importantly it has to be fast to make it viable.

This isn't a fully-serious suggestion, just bouncing ideas off people here.
