The generic description of "Knight's Challenge" does not describe any rule effects of the Knight's Challenge. Entries of each usage of challenge do. It is like Bardic Music or Ninja's Ki Power. But that is your campaign and your DM is always right.Anyway, obviously, the biggest weakness of your build is that though your PC is a melee character, your attack bonus and damages are relatively low. Does your party have another good melee/ranged attacker who can hit high AC opponents? Does your party have good buffer? Ultimately, efficiency of a PC depends largely on the configuration of the party. DnD PCs are meant to work as a team.Personally, I do not trust any build depends highly on charging. Charge seems to be a good tactics on paper. But when actually playing on battle grids, so many things prevent you from charging. Even in open field, you will often find that your comrades are blocking your charging path, there may be some difficult terrains in open field (oops! rubbles!), distance to the opponents are already too close, etc. In dungeons, it becomes much difficult to charge.And you must think about your choice of mount, too. You are not Paladin. That means you do not automatically get a mount strong (durable) enough for your level. By level 8, your mundane war horse will become impractical to use as your combat mount. Talk with your DM if you can buy stronger monster mounts or can take leadership or similar feat to acquire intelligent mount cohort.Finally, before making a knight who uses lance on horseback, talk with your DM and decide how to solve mounted charge. If you play strictly by RAW, you cannot use this tactics at all. Because when mounted, that is the mount who charges, not you. And the mount moves to the place from where the mount can attack the foe (usually, adjacent to the target). And from that place, you cannot attack that foe with your lance (reach weapon) and thus, you cannot get the benefit of the charge. So technically, your play group must use a house rule.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
