[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 2324537, member: 20931"] Can't argue with that :) Which would be the case if the original weapon met the requirements you need. If it doesn't, then your using it in a perscribed manner (in this case, as a lance) is improvising, hence the -4 penalty. While the improvisationruling states what is given, it doesn't state what ISN'T allowed (all hail GM fiat). So far, there's nothing in the ruling that goes against it. Besides, given that a lance is essentially a modified long spear (thicker shaft, weight towards the rear, different head) is it do hard to believe that a longspear (or any polearm, for that matter) can be used as a lance? And before we quote the RAW; yes, the ruling doesn't say you can, but it doesn't say you can't either. Just as the RAW doesn't say you can't get the 1.5 str bonus for the lance, even though your only using one hand. It gets viewed either way, even with the current FAQ ruling. Again, it goes back to semantics. Now, back to the matter at hand :) ... Actually, I'm iffy about using any weapon two handed while mounted. Seems rather cumbersome.
