This came up last night: a spear is listed as a two handed weapon; if used one handed does it still grant +1 to parry? My understanding is the character loses the special benefits of a 2H weapon if he cannot use it two handed. The issue came up because of the recent post about a spear and shield combo stacking their parry bonus. Thanks for your help.

Nothing says a character loses any benefits of a 2H weapon if used in one hand, only that a character doesn't gain the benefits of a weapon if they don't meet the Strength minimum.
The character does suffer a -4 to attack with a 2H weapon using only one hand (as per the One Arm Hindrance). _________________ Clint Black
