What you mean to say is "I want to see elves, Mr. Frodo!"

Yeah, yeah, it will be expanded a bit, though the details will be in the
AMM.  Elves, dwarves and such will be available as NPCs.  Maybe in the
Third Edition players will be able to use them as LightRaider characters.

Already taken care of.  Battle Axe 20 feet, Hand Axe 30 feet.

Since a lance is a much heavier weapon, it is harder to weild, so the
damage stays the same.  What you should be asking for is rules for
Mounted Combat, which I am working on.

The LR would have to be a pretty light-weight for that.

That is a possiblity, but with the addition of Former Professions, that
adds a skill as well.  Anyway, so that RaidTeam members have to rely on
each other, the Optional Skills will probably not number any more than
four.
