Notes:
I don't know if they have a rapier in the Itch Texture Set/Pack, so I thought I'd create my own textures to upload for this suggestion.
I wanted to choose between a Rapier and a Lance, however, I couldn't do both, so I decided to start from a rapier and turn it into a lance.
I hope this article follows the art style and the mechanics you're looking for. This is 100% Contribution!
