oops! a typo snuck in there when i wasn't looking. what i meant to say is that if the rough riders are
charged they still get the "ignore saves" part of the lance but not the characteristic increase, and i should have mentioned something along the line of "if they haven't used their lances yet".
or the exact words of the errata;
"if the rough riders are charged, they may use the
hunting lance. they will not get the strength or initiative bonus but will count as having power weapons."
and stubber, i did mention that they fight at their base chatacteristics in later rounds of combat, its just that the little typo and some bad sentence structure made my meaning unclear.
apologies for the shoddy post.
