I basically want to charge on my mount and throw my lances from the back of my horse. Here are my questions:

-Does spirited charge work if I throw the weapon while charging on my mount?

Spirited Charge wrote:

When mounted and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance).

-Using quick draw, and two-handed thrower, could i throw two lances from horseback during charge? do i get charge bonus for each attack?

Two-Handed Thrower wrote:

Whenever you use two hands to throw a one-handed or two-handed weapon, you gain a bonus on damage rolls equal to 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus. Using two hands to throw any weapon requires only a standard action for you. If you also have the Quick Draw feat, you can throw two-handed weapons at your full normal rate of attacks.

-If question 1 and 2 are true, would my damage triple on each attack?

-Is there anyway to combine this with hurling, lesser rage power?

Hurling, lesser (Rage Power) wrote:

As a full-round action while raging, the barbarian can lift and hurl an object up to one size category smaller than herself with both hands or two size categories smaller with one hand as an improvised weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. This inflicts damage as a falling object plus the barbarian’s Strength bonus. This damage is halved if the object is not made of stone, metal, or similar material. This is a ranged touch attack, and the target may attempt a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the barbarian’s level + the barbarian’s Strength modifier) for half damage. The barbarian may apply Power Attack to this attack as a one- or two-handed weapon, as appropriate.

-If things don't work the way I think they do, can you make any recommendations to help me with my character concept?

I like the idea of having a guy who charges around throwing lances on horseback [and other weapons]. Reminds me of scenes of the Dornish in Game of Thrones. Please help? Suggestions?

First off, what Dorne calls 'lances' may be simply spears or javelins in PF. I'd use them and the Charging Hurler feat to model the tactic you're referring to.

On the legality of what you're doing: the text of spirited charge refers to lances as a subset of melee weapon attacks, I believe. So no there IMO.

[ConfusedPeon]

I don't think it would work. When you throw a weapon that's not intended for throwing, it's treated as an improvised throwing weapon, and not as the original weapon type. This means if you throw a lance, you're basically throwing an improvised spear, so you don't get to apply the lance's damage multipliers.

Anyway, I'm not sure if the rules cover this exact case, but there's a FAQ entry that says you can't make use of a weapon's special properties if you're wielding it as an improvised weapon.
