[RPG] What Effects Does a Mithral Lance Have

dnd-5especial-materialsweapons

I was wondering what a lance made of mithral from the 5th edition would do. Mithral weapons are lighter than other kinds of weapons, but I read on what mithral weapons do, but it never explains what mithral weapons do with the lances special property. I don't know if I'm answering my own question, but would the lance have the versatile property since it's technically two-handed? If so, what dice would you roll for using the weapon in one hand?

Best Answer

There are no RAW specific effects

Unfortunately, there are no rules about either coating weapons in mithral or entirely mithral weapons.

The only mention of mithral effects are from Mithral Armor.

If you/your DM are interested in weapons of mithral, you'll be in homebrew/houserule territory (which is perfectly fine...but it'll be up to you.)

Versatile vs two-handed

This is sort of a second question hidden in there, which probably should be it's own..., but if a weapon property isn't listed, it doesn't have it. Having the versatile property isn't the same as the two-handed property. They aren't interchangeable as they have different functional mechanics.
