Mounted Lances

Postby DaniAngione » Thu Jun 29, 2017 2:26 am

Now that we have Hussar wings, what about a hefty boost to spears when mounted?

Here are a couple of ideas relating to that:

Horse Charge
Spear skill;
Must be mounted;
Must be far away from the target;

Once you use it, you charge towards the opponent (like when using any other skills) however damage could be increased based on horse speed (like 60% for speed 1, 100% for 2, 130% for 3, 160% for 4 (just examples)
The distance required makes sure you can't use it when engaged in close quarters unless you ride away and charge again.

"Lancer mode"
Just an interesting idea:
Allows the character to use a shield alongside the spear when mounted on horseback.
If dismounted, shield goes back to free belt slot or backpack - or drops on the floor if neither are available.

Don't hate this, but it touches on the touchy subject of mounted combat.
