[QUOTE="Felix, post: 2325330, member: 3929"] Sure; they're long sticks with pointy ends that hurt people. This does not mean they can be used in the same manner by the RAW. Back to the "improvised lance" business... If you wield a weapon, you use it as that weapon... you cannot improvise it to become another weapon. Yes, you can have it deal non-lethal damage, but it is still a *whatever* that's dealing non-lethal damage. You [i]can not[/i] have a spear become an "improvised lance". No such thing. The spear is still a spear, however you feel about it. If you wield something that is not a weapon (chair, beer bottle, mouse pad) then you use the rules for improvised weapons. It does damage depending on how big it is, and you get a -4 for it. This is all agreed upon. You turn some object into an "improvised weapon". You do not turn that object into a sap, lance, or tulwar. You will never gain the ability to wield any two-handed weapon (or large object)except a lance one-handed while mounted. That is what makes the lance so neat, and an effective mounted combat weapon. I say yea, and include the Core Rulebooks with me on this. At this point, it's FAQ v RAW. Take your pick. [/QUOTE]
