I wouldn't institute such a rule myself, but then as a DM i've instituted different house rules that he wouldn't. Beides, I CHOSE to go this way with full knowledge of the house rule.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  But why wouldn't I try to work a solution to the problem? Why would a fighter choose Iron Will?Let me ask this I2000 (although not house rule territory): Would you call choosing the Iron Will feat for a fighter ill conceived, since poor Will saves stuff the fighter and there are many instances of fighter types showing great willpower in history?"shrug" NOTE: I am HAPPY with the rule, that is not the issue. I can see what he is trying to do. And it works both ways (PC/DM controlled). That is not the issue I raised here. Maybe I shouldn't have provided history to the Q but let it go at the question itself?And the lance is not my PC's best weapon (longsword is in this case), just my PC's prefered method of hurting others, to the angst of others.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  (of course, I am not being defensive, am I?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />  )TheAuldGrump mentioned lances receiveing damage or shattering. My DM didn't want to go that far since lances should shatter on just about every hit (to our knowledge anyway) and having that happen to a magical or even masterwork lance was going too far.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
