lance STR mod while mounted


Rules Questions


Hi all,

a short one:
Lance while mounted can be wielded one handed. Still it gets 1,5 powerattack damage.
Does it still get 1,5 STR-Mod aswell, or does it only get +1 since you wield it with 1 Hand?


Here are the relevant FAQs.

Power Attack when using a Lance One handed FAQ

Strength and Power Attack with 2handed weapons treated as 1handed weapons FAQ

What the answer is depends on interpretation. Some people (such as myself) believe that the two FAQs are contradictory.

However, the strict answer is that you get 1.5x Power Attack because the Lance FAQ states you do, but that you do not get 1.5x Strength bonus because the Lance FAQ does not state that you do.


thanks.
i knew the PowerAttack FAQ. so i thought raw you wouldnt get 1,5ST but if they even FAQ the Lance get 1,5PA it should apply on ST aswell.
getting 1,5x PA and 1,0ST is kinda weird.
