Charge!
« on: April 26, 2017, 11:01:57 AM »
Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find the rules for charge attacks, running and mounted in the standard system?
Will that affect mounted combat with a lance?

In anticipation.

I've looked several times and don't believe there is any rule for charging in RMSS. Lance damage is pretty significant and I think that comes with the assumption that it is used from a charging mount.

Page 120 of the Arms Law states that a lance used on foot, or on an animal that's only walking, uses the spear table (though would that require skill in spear, or lance for OB purposes?)

There are rules from RM2 that you can use, if you don't find anything good in RMSS.

Oh, I want a +5! bonus. That's +120, right?  ;)
