Mystery Lancer

The polearm is more than just stabbing at a distance. The Mystery Lancers throw away the traditional ideas of polearms and fight in a completely different style. They use every bit of length to their advantage while converting the limitation of length to different uses to leave no disadvantages.

Lance Uniting

3rd-level Mystery Lancer feature

You can spend one hour uniting with a polearm weapon, you can also spend one hour un-uniting or uniting with a different polearm weapon. The united weapon can be magically stored in a tattoo on the back of a hand and becomes weightless when not summoned. You can use a bonus action to magically summon the weapon into your hand. The weapon lasts until it is destroyed, you dismiss it, you summon it again, or until you’re incapacitated.

You can use the weapon in the following ways:

• You can use all its weapon functions
•  you can throw it as a ranged weapon, it has the range as a Javelin 30ft/120ft. If the weapon has versatile properties, apply the lowest damage die when throwing it.
• once per turn, anytime when the weapon is in the game but not in your hand, you can make a DC 12 Constitution check to command it to return to your hand with no cost.

Master of Maneuvering

You can use the length of polearms to your advantage both offensively and defensively.

• you no longer have disadvantage attacking creatures within 5ft of you while using a polearm
• you can fight using polearm weapons in three different styles: sweeping, stabbing, dual-wielding. You can change your fighting style after a short rest.
  • sweeping: When you fight in sweeping style, once per turn when your attack hits a creature, you can choose to make a DC 17 strength ability check, on a successful check, you can make an attack roll at all creatures besides the original target in a 5ft radius semi-circle in front of you.
  • stabbing: When you fight in stabbing style, once per turn when your attack hits a creature, you can choose to make a DC 17 dexterity ability check, on a successful check, you make 2 additional attack rolls, each additional attack deals 1d4 + weapon modifier piercing damage, when both additional attacks hit, the creature starts Bleeding. When Bleeding is applied to the creature that is already in Bleeding condition, its severe level increases by 1, up to severe level 4.
  • dual-wielding: When you fight in dual-wielding style, you can choose to make a DC 17 constitution ability check, on a successful check, you can fight with 2 non-heavy polearm weapons for 2 minutes and still use the damage die of two-hand for each weapon. You can use this feature 1 time per short rest.
