Does applying the lance to attack from a distance count towards increasing  the lance skill? --206.75.96.125 19:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Do the odds of breaking a lance really get worse when your luck increases? Hurkyl (talk) 08:44, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I imagine that this is a result of bug Bugs in NetHack 3.4.3. It's likely related, at least. -- Qazmlpok (talk) 12:33, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

In SLASH'EM I #enhanced my knight's lance to from basic to skilled and there seems to be no difference in range. It is true that you get "Expert" range from the beginning of the game. It definitely seems like a wasted skill slot in SLASH'EM unless there's an effect I'm not aware of. --4.30.147.166 22:14, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
Is it really necessary to mention the non-existent artifact lances? JMarieStanton (talk) 01:28, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
