It would behave somewhat like the Great Lance from Native, except you can't couch, and can't use a shield, but you can block manually.



Proposed stats: (I don't know exactly how it could be balanced. Help from players with more experience in cRPG is welcome.)

I am afraid it's the /r/DIY kind of request

I aprecciate your interest in adding things to he mod, but i dont realy see exacly why there should he 2h lances on cav other than seeing a bunch of old eastern paintings.
Also the animation would be a problem too.

Also the animation would be a problem too.

grab a heavy lance while on foot, ready a thrust, then climb on a horse, your character will hold the footmans thrust while on horseback, 2h animation solved.
