Fiendish Dr. Samsara was good enough to find and bring to my attention an omission in the rules. Spears are listed as melee weapons, but with no rules for throwing them. This will be rectified in MM, but for now here's the rule:
Thrown Spears
Hurled spears have the same range increments as slings, based upon the wielder's strength (1/2 Str/Str/Strx2). Their target number to hit a given AC is as listed for close range, increases by 1 for medium range, and by 2 for long range. Thus, to hit AC 2 with a thrown spear, your "to hit" would be 9/10/11.
