Valkyries start with a spear instead of a long sword
Long swords are overused, and Knights already start with a long sword. No other roles start with a spear. Lawful Valks shouldn't have an easy way to get Excalibur. There's also historical precedence for valkyries with spears, see eg. Wagner's Ring Cycle. This makes Valks early game damage slightly lower, although dwarven spear does the same damage to small monsters as long sword, and there should be plenty of chances to get one from the mines. Spears can also be thrown. This change has been done in several variants, eg. xNetHack and Fourk.
