There were 2 reasons for that, 1) you probably take this feat anyway if you are really interested in exploiting mounts to any great degree, so it removes it from being a second feat you'd need to be fully competent, and 2) Mounted Combat as it is now is really not all that appealing a feat, it wouldn't hurt for it to have some extra benefit since it is really such a niche thing anyway.There were different types of tournament fighting. One type of event was purely a jousting contest, other types might begin with a joust, followed by combat on foot or mounted with other weapons depending, assuming the guy who was unhorsed was still fit to continue. There were also mass combats which generally (but not always) opened with the two sides charging each other with lances. Again, the advantage to be gained would be getting a solid enough hit to entirely disable one of your side's opponents. As for lances used on foot. Well, perhaps this is not part of the lexicon of romantic literature but it is QUITE well attested historically and was presumably a standard technique available to knights. It is a well-enough established factual situation that there are any number of historical figure lines featuring figures like "Knight, dismounted with lance." Sadly finding historical citations online amidst all the gaming site chatter is rather tricky.</blockquote>
