The lance is a real oddball among two-handed weapons. The balance of the lance is very strongly shifted back to the grip, since even as a two-handed weapon, it is meant to be used while seated, riding a mount, and in one hand. The other hand is handling a shield and holding the reins of the mount. The very light tip makes using the lance not only possible but extremely deadly. When couched proficiently and used in a charge, a lance does double damage or more. Compared to other two-handed weapons, the lance does not do a lot of damage, but when used in its specialized niche, there is nothing deadlier. The Lance belongs to the "Spears" weapon group.
