Charging with a Lance

[elbandit]

Howdy!

Is it possible to wield a lance two handed when you charge from a mount?

As written, it's a two-handed weapon; it states that when mounted, you can use it in one hand. It doesn't say you must.

Where would you hold it? lol

As normal with another hand brought over to the side you hold it on I assume. Probably facing opposite to the other hand.

Hold a 12 foot lance with 2 hands on the handgrip. Wow. This is why its used in 1 hand. Lol.

Overhead, thumbs facing back, two-handed downward thrust. Lean back a little, holding on with your calves, then pull yourself forward with your thighs and put your back into it.

During impact, twist the lance down and to your left (if opponent is in your left) or right, under your elbow as you pass by, then hold on and let the horse's momentum pull the lance out during your Ride-by Attack.

(You nut. This is just a game. Don't try to make any of this stuff actually sound reasonable or logical. It ain't.)

'Cause, ya know, the Chinese certainly never fought with two-handed spears from horseback ...

Note that you probably don't need to. It is still a 2H weapon, even if you are only using it in one hand, so you still get 1.5 Str bonus and 2-for-1 power attack.
