couched lance

[Alma69]

I didnt find this so.. This atack should be allowed from bouth sides of horse. Knight even has a special shild for using with lance to atack enamy on left side of horse.

What knight? Okay, can you give a medieval picture? It wouldn't be too wrong if the player could change the direction of the couched lance a litte.

Not changing a littly but changing sides. Im looking for right picture.

i think it would be silly, knights would only really use their right arm. Left handedness wasnt encouraged in that day and the right arm would be the strongest.

Even if what you say is correct, i doubt you could switch hands very easily mid fight. I'd just like to see the ability to aim the lance a little on the horizontal axis. It has been suggested quite a bit, but makes sense, would make lancing more fun, and is entirely realistic.

I "think" he means by crossing the lance over that saddle. While still holding with the right arm.

Which actually gave left handers quite an advantage. Naturally, their stronger arm was the left, but they were trained to fight with the right. So they could switch their sword from one arm to another, with the left hander having an advantage on the right hander used to fight against another right hander.

But at least I, as a left hander, would love to maybe in the character creation pick whether I wanna use the left or the right hand as my stronger.
