It usually took 14 years of practice to master the weapon. On top of that, the lance was worthless as a melee weapon. It was used on a single charge and after that the knight drew his sword or mace. I can't begin to go into the reasons for why a metal lance is impractical.And yes, swords are typically the only weapons made entirely of metal. But I did say one could opt to make a metal hafted axe or mace. It would just be a little more expensive than normal. Metal hafted reach weapons aren't going to happen without massive penalties though. I need to draw the line somewhere. D&D combat is unrealistic enough, but I prefer to use at least a little common sense.</blockquote>
