I wouldn't give a full lance or polearm more then a +1 DB - it's just too
easy to get within their reach and negate their length advantage.

Reach allows you to get the first shot in, usually.  After that it's a
matter of moving around trying to stay at your best range while keeping
your opponent from theirs - which is best summed up in the melee skill
passive defence mod.
