[QUOTE="Goblyn, post: 3792758, member: 16889"] No, because setting a spear is under readying an action and I don't think you can ready an action for something that has already happened. Though he may be still considered charging, the charge mechanic has already been resolved, making it too late for anyone to ready for that action. Then the lance never deals double damage? The condition for the double damage is "when used from the back of a charging mount". If the mount is not considered to be charging, this cannot apply.[/quote] Under the entries for both charge and mounted combat, it words it as 'charging while mounted'.
