[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9266805, member: 7030563"] If the DM kills your mount than that is an attack (or more) he wasted on killing your mount. Also because a Lance is not heavy this works with small PCs that can mount a medium creature. So they can use war dogs, or other PCs as a mount. If the DM kills your war dog, go climb on the human cleric's shoulders and use him as a mount before you make your next attack. Then get yourself another mount before your next fight. The disadvantage is extremely easy to mitigate - you don't attack the enemies within 5 feet. Unless you are fighting a single enemy or fighting on an unusually large battlefield, the Lance's reach means you can usually reach a different enemy 10 feet away with just a bit of movement without even getting more than 5 feet away from the enemy close to you. If all enemies are within 5 feet (which is rare) you move 10 feet away from one of them before you attack. This is not a significant problem. In the very worst-case scenario - you fall off of your mount, no one else is within range to mount, you are carrying a shield and the only enemy is right next to you, simply drop your lance and pull out a 1d8 weapon. You still have dueling, you still have a shield for AC. You are down a little bit on damage, but you are more than making up for that on the rounds you get 1d12 PLUS dueling PLUS reach PLUS a shield. I have played this twice now. First with a Kender Paladin who played it exactly like above (and had a Dragonlance and Dragonnelle mount by the end of the game :) ). The second time with a Drow Fighter I am playing now who played it a little different until 11th level. She was not as focused on high damage and went with superior technique-menacing attack and no shield so she could use the Lance with 2 hands when unmounted and hold an enemy at 10 feet away with Frightened. She has since switched to the magic Greataxe I mentioned because well "magic". [/QUOTE]
