The lance is a polearm that resembles a spear with a long haft that is topped with a simple sharp blade. Because of its heavy weight it is one of the most devastating weapons available. Naturally, this damage effectiveness comes at a price; slow attack speed in the form of a significant roundtime and the requirement that it be wielded with two hands. Much of this additional RT can be offset with Agility and Dexterity stat bonuses.
