Nevermind. It cannot be done.

Prove me wrong, and that would be nice. Because this is, quite frankly, plainly disgusting...

I nick-named this concept "Semper Fractus" ;).

This is a 20th level halfling character.
Fighter5/Rogue5/Psychic Warrior3/Monk7.

Stats
Str 13
Dex 18
Con 10
Int 10
Wis 13
Cha 18

Feats
Metal Leap
Ambidexterity
Two-Weapon Fighting
Speed of Thought
Monkey Grip (Heavy Lance)
Quick Draw
Weapon Specialization (Heavy Lance)
Psionic Charge
Signature Skill (Iajitsu Focus)
Mantis Leap
Ride-by Attack
Spirited Charge

Two skills matter here...
Jump +24
Iaijitsu Focus +27

Weapons
Two +5 Heavy Lances

The Idea
The halfling, wielding a heavy lance in each hand, jumps at an opponent 20 feet away, which counts as a charge. He attacks, with both lances, for the first charge. Thanks to Ride-by, he can move after the attack, which he does - then performs two 90-degree turns, and does the whole thing again. And then again.

The nifty thing here is that, if the opponent is flat-footed, then you have a possibility of +11d6 points of damage. +3d6 is guaranteed, thanks to the rogue levels, but there is anywhere between +1d6 to +8d6 because of Iaijitsu Focus. So long as the opponent is flat-footed (and if he is for the first run, then he will be for the second and third), then this happens again. And again.

Is this possible? I can clarify some things if needed, but I think that you can get the idea from what I've written above.

I'm really puzzled. You're jumping, but you're using mounted feats? Are you mounted or not?

Spirited Charge only works if you're mounted... but you can't use your Jump skill (or, hence, Mantis Leap) from horse/dogback...

-Hyp.

Also, Iajutsu focus only works when you draw a weapon from a sheathe, and lances don't usually have sheathes.

Only restriction on the skill that I saw was that you had to draw your weapon and attack in the same round. Quick Draw allows you to do that.

...you are correct. I missed that when I read the feat descriptions.

I see that this cannot be done... nevermind.
