Are spears lances?

[Higgy]

So I remember reading something a while ago, but cannot remember if it was actually implemented in the game, and google doesn't help.

Basically with the fixes to mounted combat I was looking to do a "lance" build of my Drovier druid. Now I tried with longspear, but found that my reach was longer than the mounts so was losing mount attacks, and then moved to shortspear and shield which is working OK atm. However neither are doing bonus damage on charges, or are they specifically on crits only?

Also, the Spirited Charge feat doesn't appear to work?

Has anyone had any luck with this style of play?

*I know it isn't optimal but I am somewhere between daring and normal, and don't need an amazing build. Just for fun.

Pretty sure mounted combat still isn’t fixed

They just seperated mount and your action in turnbase mode.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong

Spears arent treated as lances in this game. There is a single longspear later on that is labelled as a lance and emulates some of the bonuses you would expect to receive but is just a glorified spear.

There is a mod called Tabletop Tweaks on github that I believe implements this functionality.

As for longspear attacks, they should be able to be used with your a grown Mastodon or Tricertops mount as they become so large they gain reach attacks.

Cant speak to Spirited Charge.

Afaik spears and halberds count as lances. The pet has an ai of it's own and will move in regardless of weapon size. It did work, but people say it's broken now and I haven't tried it lately so don't know if something broke it???

It was broken prior to the patch, haven't tested new patch enough to confirm if it was fixed.

Weirdly, I don't see them as separate icons still, but they are working better.

Basically what I am basing the build off.

Gonna have to look into this one I think.

I am a gnome riding a velociraptor, which may be some of the issue. I will soon get Animal Growth which should fix things.

Also just checked. Spirited Charge is definitely working now, just testing it out by having everyone else run away.
