![]() ![]() The exception for a lance while mounted is based on the real world fact that with the horse providing the striking force and much of the direction of the lance it can be couched under an arm for stability. The relative weight compared to wood is not remotely alluded to in the lore, so we are in even more uncharted territory than with a metal weapon.īeyond material concerns, any similarly long object is fairly unwieldy in one hand. Within the degree we can expect "realism" for a magic metal in an elf game with many mechanical conceits, remember that lances are made of wood (often with a metal tip), not primarily of metal. "Realistically" It Probably Shouldn't Do Much for a Lance Anyway They could have easily said "any mithral armor will weighs half as much as it normally would", or some such, if they intended that to be a rule, and there are no secret rules.Īnd, once again as others have said, once we are making mithral weapons at all we are already beyond RAW. Hard to disagree with that principle of rule interpretation, even if here it is directly inconsistent with the lore of being lighter. Mithral armor doesn't weigh less than normal. Even with the armor, however, there is no actual mechanical reduction in weight, despite the obvious lore reasons for having such. ![]() RAW does not have mithral weapons, only mithral armor. ![]() Neither RAW nor Necessarily "Realism" Make it Lighter, but we are in Homebrew Magic Item Territory ![]()
