Lances should break when damaged

Lances are indestructible in cRPG which makes them way overpowered. The damage they deal should be mirrored to the lance which should have like 100-200 hp depending from the lance. This would make them less overpowered and it would force people to actually think who to kill instead of killing people who are AFK.

this,  and arrows of any kind should not be able to penetrate plate armor,  as their iron poky ends are of lesser strength than the plates steel.

what a well thought point you made, lets just make lancers explode when attacking an afk, the explosion can be explained by the inner shame they are brining upon themselfs

making destructible lance or making them explode so that they wont kill afk, i think its only fair

Make the breaking chance based on a certain threshold of damage that the lance deals, preferably something high, like a couch. This kind of thing has been done in other mods.

Even better would be if the chance of breaking was based on something the player has done "wrong", like hitting a shield, not getting a head-shot, not couching, etc. That way the breaking is penalizing poor lance use.

If lances would break, all other weapons should break as well.

Unrealistic.

Not really. Lances in crpg aren't tournament lances which are designed to shatter. These are the same as any other polearm from that point of view. Therefore all polearms/weapons with a wooden shaft should have a chance of breaking it this was added.

If you wanna go realistic with lances the only option is having a physics system that supports weapons catching in armor/shields/flesh. Is that even possible with Warband engine? And it would change the combat mechanics a lot.
