Throwing lances should hurt people even blocking with shields

[Tears of Destiny]

For the lulz, because they look like Pila.

The following shows that a shield is effective against a Hasta type spearhead (traditional), while a pilum will penetrate or split it.

First half of the video they throw Hasta, near the end Pila.

So... BUFF THROWING LANCES

And throwing axes should increase the weight of the shield when they are thrown into it, making the shielder slower after every hit ^^

Throwing Lance already does SIXTY damage and has bonus to shield.  I don't see how you can get better than that.

Knockdown, Crushthrough...

actually, it has more raw damage. It has 6 PT req + ~100 WPF and it's already like 100 pierce damage IIRC

That, is, you can actually hit something with the only 4 you have.

If I got 100 pierce then damn, why the fuck ain't I twohitting tincans?

I don't twohit tincans most of the time too.

You know what... knock down would actually be fucking awesome. I don't know if it's possible but in a Medieval themed game that is currently in beta atm that I have been playing and am in no way breaking the NDA for right now has a cool thing with cav where if you get a stunning/knock down hit on a ride they fly arse first of the horse, now that would be a nice addition to c-rpg.

They are weak...

They should penetrate shields and wreck anyone\anything they hit.  The current cRPG generation doesn't understand the fear that a throwing lance used to inspire.

once i survived headthrow with lance

27 str and 8 if and +3 great helmet
many saw that on eu1.

In my opinion that weapon should 1 hit most of the time

[pepejul]

+1

78 HP and 60 head armour, what would you expect?

Okay

78 HP and 60 head armour, what would you expect?

Using said damage,
I expect a 100 base damage throwing lance to destroy anyone with a headshot, considering the normal 75% bonus to base damage plus another 33% from the ranged patch.
