Knights have never used lances at the same time as their swords. The first round of combat the lance is used instead of the sword.

Ah - the things you learn. So lances are just for the first 'charge' - this makes perfect sense, but I didn't know it was this way. Thanks for the info.

re. Awe/Fear: I always thought of Awe and Fear as two ends of the spectrum, the zero point being your average guy who has neither. In this case Awe would spring from not wanting to cut down such a magnificent creature, whereas Fear would be the opposite - wanting to, but being afraid to. To me it would even make sense to have them check different stats - something like Fear checking morale and Awe checking magic resistance (lest you be charmed by the great magnificence and beauty of the awesome creature). This way Awe wouldn't just be Fear under another name.

[what would be funny would be to have a fear-inducing creature facing off against an awe-inducing creature, and have them fail their respective checks and both run away ]
