Dismounting Lances

Didn't want to sabotage the Jousting suggestion thread with this so started another. A discussion on discord suggestion was made a while ago about the possibility of lances being added to regular gameplay as a method to dismount an opponent. I think it was @eppy who said it had merit and could see this as a possibility.

Would add a little spice to pvp and maybe make a specialized template for someone to play.

My thoughts are the following:

1) Add in a non combat related skill to increase chance of dismount special. Something like carpentry- thus the need to sacrifice something in your template and balancing from a str/weakness perspective.

2) Players must be on foot in order to attempt to dismount another player.

3) Have a provision that when you attempt to dismount another player (hit or miss)- you in turn are unable to mount for at least 10-15 seconds.

4) Put safe guards in place to ensure we aren't overrun with overpowered dismount tamers. Whether this special wouldn't work (like stun) on a template with taming or require a high mount of dexxer related skills to utilize.

Thoughts anyone?
