Lances ~

[Rwby]

The Wiki article on riding references that you can only wield a lance while mounted in Arelith. [Makes sense!] However, there are no results at all for what a lance might be, what it does, and how you make one.

In base NWN it's a zero damage weapon with *3 Crit, which wouldn't be much fun if that's all it is here too!

Anyone know anything further?

There is one example of a lance you can get IG does much more than 0 damage along with additional attributes.

For the rest, it is a weapon that you fight with while on horseback. It's benefits aren't recorded on the wiki because it is not something you craft, but randomly find/purchase.

(Nitro, I would not say its location on the forums.)

[Rwby]

Well some information would be appreciated. Are lances the same as in the base game on Arelith? As they have certain pre-coded weakenesses [Can't use weapon feats, can't be targetted by magical effects] other weapons wouldn't have.

I appreciate not giving away locations in game, if they're uncraftable [Why are they uncraftable? They're not complex weapons to make.] But for the sake of transparency, something that documented lances did exist as a purchasable weapon and are modified in X ways from base NWN would be appreciated. It's hard enough to stumble through pages and pages of Arelith updates, pages and pages of entirely seperate accepted suggestions, and pages of Wiki entries when the information about game mechanics you need to look up isn't documented in any of them!

I presumed it wasn't a secret since the topic I linked has gone unmolested for a couple of months. I've edited it out of my previous comment now either way.

Yes, lets keep a weapon designed for gorse warfare a complete secret from thise trying yo visualize knight characters who don't always wield a scimitar.

(As a casual player, find out in game usually means "this content will never be accessed by you in decades to come")

foig for a lance is stupid.

The base game flaws of the lance are still present in Arelith. It has 0 base damage, is not supported by feats, and is not treated by the engine as a melee weapon. Until that is fixed, I wouldn't recommend planning a character around its use.

I would flag Beamdog about the issue, as it is a problem they are better-positioned to resolve.

Absolutely, both lances and trumpets are incomplete in NWN. Neither has any stats, and cannot easily be given unique properties by developers.

I would love to see both of these 'fixed', so definitely something to take to the Beamdog forums, or mentioned during one of their Twitch streams.

I also did a top 5 classes we'd like to see on EE on our twitter feed, and position 1 would be impossible without that change to the base game!

[Rwby]

Well sure.
That would just be amazing. Cavalry charges. Arelith Style. I'm in.

Another vote for a battle lance - tournament lances existed in the past ( maybe zero damage makes sence] but it was the battle lance was a commen weapon weapon and did a lot more damage than it's sporting cousin - ask any respectable dragon!
