 ~~NOTOC~~
-//I once made quite a long list of polearms and their statistics- bardiche, halberd, ranseur, bec de corbin, naginata and so forth. Does knowing about Bohemian earspoons ever increase one's sex appeal? Sadly, no.//
+//When I made the order, I thought a "Bohemian Earspoon" was a cocktail. Still not disappointed.//
-Every culture ever has had the idea of putting a blade on a stick (or just using the stick itself) to gain the advantage of reach, so the Lancer class is exceptionally easy to justify the existence of. Your weapon of choice can look like whatever you want; history has no shortage of variations to choose from if you're so inclined but for purposes of this game they all handle pretty much the same.

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Stab Happy:** Your weapon can pass through your target's space and damage another target standing behind them.

If a proposed target doesn't pass the straight line test, you can't use Skewer to attack them (at least, not from your current position). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Cover's A Thing:** A secondary target hit by Skewer will by definition have at least partial cover, meaning that the attack against them has a failure chance of 6.

This effect lasts until the beginning of your next turn. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Turned Away At the Door:** Standstilled enemies can freely move away from you if they want, just not towards you. |

By spending 1 Dosh, you can mark any region on the overland map within 5 regions of the base's location as belonging to your faction and being under your protection. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slowed Incursion:** If any large-scale problem or challenge to your authority appears in a marked region, the referee is required to give you at least 1 session's advanced notice about it before anything bad actually happens there. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Collapse:** If you fail to prevent an incursion into a held region, your territorial markers there are removed. You can always put them back up again if you retake the region by re-spending the 1 Dosh fee. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Clear The Hex:** Before you can reasonably claim a region, you must force out any previous owners (if any) and clear it of any major threats. |
