No obvious change in text for: bristled leg, extended spider leg, fungus spear, imaginary spear (with Eclipse), decorative spear, oily spear, palace spear, postapocaliptic spear, toxic spear, thorny vine, twisted spider limb, yellow lace garotte, vine spear, writhing spear.
Bone-edged chain, unending chain, hooked chain, anchor chain all gave same message.
Interestingly the Dragon Hunter from Halloween 2014 uses a form: "The hunter tangles you up with her crazy spear thing for x damage." but when I use it "You catch the rats with your odd polearm for 11 melee damage." Is there a way to "tangle" opponents? Both are chain-3 melee.
