New Skill and Weapon!

Introduction
The new weapon would be a lance and the new skill would be jousting! This also has some involvement with Magna GB's idea of horses. Basically, they would ride a battle horse with all their armor and maybe some armor for the horse and the fighter would have to use a lance and shield(Optional). Whenever you are jousting, you may NOT use magic. You also may NOT joust in the wilderness. Jousting only takes effect when you are riding a horse and equiping a lance. You will learn why you cannot use magic or use this skill for the wilderness.

Battle System
Whenever you click attack, the horse charges past the enemy, doing some
damage when it passes by, then runs back towards the enemy and attacks again! Then it keeps doing that over and over again till you or your opponent dies. However, you or your horse are still damaged when you run past your opponent to attack. After the battle, you get jousting experience plus the one(or all) of the three things you chose(attack/strength/defense). The horse also gets some experience!
I've explained part of the battle system but there is some more to it. You would now have a jousting level. It works like your strength level but it only takes effect when your jousting. However, your strength level still takes effect during jousting matches. When your fighting you usually have a choice of 4 ways of battle, Aggresive, Accurate, Defensive, and Controlled. You still have those but you now have 4 more for you horse. Controlled, Agile, Reckless, and Caution. All these styles have their pros and cons. Controlled is basically normal or average and gives exp. to all. Agile is fast. The horse runs short distancesand attacks a lot more then Controlled, Reckless or Caution, however it is not nearly as strong as Reckless. Reckless is when your horse just rushes forward and gives a great deal of damage to your opponent. But, you would be dealed a great deal of damage yourself if you do not have a high caution or defense. Caution is just defensive. You would still run and attack but focus on defense. You would be dealt less damage but in turn you would take longer to attack then any of the other battle styles.

Weapons
Then comes the weapons you use for jousting. First is the minimum level to wield, then the lance you use, then a short description of it.

Lv 1- Bronze Lance- Nothing special.
Lv 1- Iron Lance- Just stronger then bronze.
Lv 5- Steel Lance- Just stronger then iron.
Lv 10- Black Lance- Just stronger then steel but more rare!
Lv 20- Mithril Lance- Stronger then black.
Lv 30- Adamantite Lance- Stronger then mithril.
Lv 40- Rune Lance- Stronger then adamantite.
Lv 60- Dragon Lance- Stronger then rune.

Now for the weapon. The lance is stronger then a long sword or scimitar and has better aim then a battle axe.

Type-Aim-Power
Bronze Lance-9-9
Iron Lance-11-11
Steel Lance-19-19
Black Lance-20-21
Mithril Lance-25-26
Adamantite Lance-34-36
Rune Lance-53-55
Dragon Lance-73-75

There are also abilities you can use when you reach a certain jousting level. First there is the minimum level to use the ability, next is the skill name, and finally, the description of the ability. Abilities are always in effect once you are at (or above) the minimum level.

Lvl 30- Head Shot- Aims for the head to deal more damage. (+15% Attack).
Lvl 40- 2 Lances- Is able to equip 2 lances instead of one.

Stores
There would now be a new store for jousting weapons, maybe located in Falador. Here is the what the store sells. First the lance type, then the price, and finally how much in stock.

Bronze Lance- 45gp -3
Iron Lance- 160gp - 2
Steel Lance- 600gp- 1
Black Lance- 1.2k - 1
Mithril Lance- 1.6k - 1
Adamantite Lance- 3.7k - 1
Rune Lance- 37k - 0
Dragon Lance- 110k - 0

Guild
Once you have lvl 40 jousting, you may enter the jousting guild but you must be on your horse and wielding a lance. The guild is 2 floors with a backyard. In the backyard, there are dummies which you can practice hitting. This gives 10 experience to your strength. In the first floor of the building, it is actually a stable where you can take care of your horse. On the second floor is a place to shop around for lances and armor for your horse.

Rune Lance- 37k - 1
Dragon Lance- 110k - 1

Feasibility
This would take long to implement since it needs the horses, armor for the horses, horse stats, the second battle system, the new skill, the new weapon, restrictions for the skill, a new store and abilities for the jousting. However I think it would be a great addition to runescape to make it more medieval and fun.

Conclusion
Now you know why you cannot use magic or use this skill in the wilderness. If you were a member and had 2 lances, and lots of magic, you would be able to hit 3 times in one round, making the game very unfair. But the skill (with the restrictions) would make the game very cool. It would give this game more things to do for veteran players, and more fun for newer players. All in all, I think this is a great idea for runescape.

[Grimbold]

Umm...

1: Belongs in suggestions, no exceptions.(I learned this the hard way lol)

2: Animals that help you fight are on the RSC do not suggest list, so your suggestion won't even bet considered.

Other than this, I like it.
