Now, what i actually mean is:  Is it Viable? is it even good enough a concept to think further about?They use what we in DnD call heavy armor, but could use medium;They wield a Lance as their only weapon;and they also use Heavy or tower shieldsWhat i ask for mainly is:                  - Is a lance a good weapon to carry around or does that only belong on a horseback rider's hand?                 - Is this a good enough concept to even consider making a character out of?For the campaign i am currently playing on, i have access only to Core stuff plus the advanced players guide ( i dunno if that's core or otherwise, i just felt the need to state it)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDEKc6WcKHs" target="_blank">Here's</a> a video showing some aspects of the class.Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
