you are not a gallant hero, you are a size: Medium kobold. they are smarter than you, adopt their tactics and stay at range and behind cover as long as you can. slings cost basically nothing.
Flasks of oil are your friend. you probably can't see in the dark, and holding a torch can be a problem. throw an oil-flask molotov into a dark cave ahead of you, and you'll have light in the room and maybe singe some gobbos.
drow weapons become shit in sunlight, but poison is poison. save those hand crossbows and poisoned bolts for when you need to volley fire down a tough enemy, or for sleepless nights.
your ranger can probably find some fun plants that will help with staying awake when you're on watch, side effects are usually less terrible than you imagine.

Spears are better than swords you dolt. Swords are a sidearm.

Know when to say no to a job. Adventurers are a dime a dozen, and it's easy for a Lord to promise hefty wages if he knows that 90% of the junior adventurers he scraped together won't be alive to collect.

You say that and show a picture of a roman. You realise they fought with Spears right

Good luck with your spear.

The pilum wasn't meant to be used primarily as a spear, but as a javelin.
Triarii would be seen carrying spears, but that doesn't represent all their infantry.

Spears can also be used as a quarterstaff. Check Oberyn vs the mountain in game of thrones

Add a hammer head on the spear and you're ready to face a knight.
