The spear saddle is a modification that can be built into a new saddle or incorporated into an existing saddle. It is a mount built into the knee roll of the saddle, which is strengthened with steel. The mount is designed to hold a spear steady and level, allowing the rider to aim the spear with his calf or knee as he charges his horse (or other riding animal). The spear saddle allows the rider to make an additional attack (with a -4 penalty on the attack roll) on a Ride-By Attack or a Spirited charge. The spear is considered to be a lance for purposes of damage and critical hits. Because it is securely mounted in place, a successful hit with the spear breaks it. Putting a new spear in the spear saddle mount requires one minute.
