Description

A dwarven light lance is a specialized weapon designed to allow a trained user to fight with a mount in the narrow confines of caves and tunnels. It is shorter than a typical lance, and uses a specialized grip, requiring special training to use properly.

A dwarven light lance deals double damage if used from the back of a charging mount. A wielder on foot can also receive this benefit, but the weapon must with wielded with 2 hands, or take at least a -5 penalty to their attack roll using the Power Attack feat. None of these options are availible to non-proficient wielders.

+11 or more	+ bonus squared × 20,000 gp	+ enhancement bonus × 2	+ enhancement bonus × 10
Increase total cost for magical enhancement by 2,000 gp for cold iron weapons. Unlike the additional cost, the increase the weapon's hardness and hit points are only gained from its enhancement bonus, not its special abilities. If the weapon has a magical bonus greater than +5 or a special ability worth more than +5, the weapon is epic. Multiply magic cost by 10.
