Lance's Lance Redux

[Freemage]

The delusional Dog-boy Lance truly believes that he is a holy knight, designated by Merlin and Arthur to bear this sacred tool.

But really, it's just ARCHIE-3, modding a tool Lance was already carrying when he stumbled across one of the warehouses in a fever-fugue.

The drill was first designed to have the ability to pop out up to 12' in length, enabling it to be used from horseback. It can also 'piston', giving it extra punch and often catching enemies off-guard.

Lance's Lance (Weird Science Mining Drill)
Mining Drill: This drill bores through and chews up a square foot of material per round (double the time for each full
20 Hardness). As an improvised weapon it deals Str+3d4 Mega Damage, AP 12, −1 Parry, MinStr d8 (40 lb, 60,000 credits).
Upgrades:
Minor (x2): Extensible: This weapon can be expanded rapidly to gain +1 Reach per instance of the Upgrade. As an Innate Action, the length can be set to either the normal (+0), +1, or +2 Reach. Each +1 Reach gives the weapon a one Die-Type increase to its MinStr (so at Reach +2, the MinStr is d12). The Lance, as an implant, can become unwieldy--when used against an opponent who is at Reach less than the weapon's current length, Lance is at -1 to Fighting and Parry for each increment of difference (so at +2 Reach, he is at -2 to Fighting rolls and Parry against foes who are immediately adjacent).
Minor (in place of 2nd Major): Reduce weight by 50% (to 20 lbs).
Major: First Strike--by pistoning the Lance at just the right moment, the Dog-Boy can cause it to impale an attacker who moves into his current Reach.
