A shorter, sturdier replacement for a typical lance.

Demilance

Martial Melee Weapon

Name	Cost	Damage	Weight	Properties
Demilance	20gp	1d12 (2d6) piercing	7 lbs	Heavy, Versatile

Note: Prerequisite: 16 Strength and Dexterity. The demilance must be wielded in two hands to be used in conjunction with the Great Weapon Master optional feat.

Where the stereotypical lance is meant for cavalry charges, to be used in a single attack before breaking and being left behind, this version is essentially a heavy spear for one-on-one combat. Most effective when paired with a shield, but the handle is long enough for two hands.

A more stout, metal replacement for a riding lance.

Lance Mastery feat (Optional Rule)

• While wielding a demilance, gain +1 AC as you use its curved form to deflect attacks.
• While wielding any lance, you can perform an opportunity attack on enemies that enter your melee range.
• While wielding any lance, if you move 20 or more feet toward a creature before making an attack, you deal 2d6 piercing damage on a successful hit, regardless of whether you are wielding it in one or two hands. The target must make a Strength save with a DC equal to 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency or be pushed 15 feet away from you.
