I had a question on weapon mastery. I was looking at both the lance and spear weapon entries and they seemed to imply a great similarity from what is written. Now, my only experience with lances is from movies so to me they look quite different than what I generally see as spears. I see where they are related, but the lances of movies tend to be shaped differently to be of only use in a charge.  Where I’d imagine outside of a tournament a lance to be used for anything but a charge needs to be more spear-like. But again, I know nothing about

That said, are Lance, Short Spear and Long Spear all different “Masteries”?

I ask because recently switching from a Spear Mastery Fighter to a Lance (never used yet… no horse) Caraphract (… unfortunately Barbarian part-member post-battle rage oopsie death-related reasons) - I am forced to specialize in that and wondered if it extended to similar weapons or not. Figured not, but checking.
