A Human Male Fallen Paladin with a lance and a mount in Dungeons & Dragons is a warrior who once upheld sacred oaths but has since strayed, embracing darkness or forsaking their divine path. A Fallen Paladin, typically represented as an Oathbreaker in D&D 5e, has lost the favor of their deity and now wields power through darker means, often driven by vengeance, regret, or newfound ambition.

Mounted combat is a hallmark of this character, as the lance is a weapon optimized for charging while on horseback or another suitable steed. This allows for devastating attacks using the Mounted Combatant feat, which grants advantages such as increased accuracy and protection for the mount. The lance itself is a reach weapon that deals significant damage but is cumbersome when used on foot, reinforcing the importance of remaining mounted.

As a former Paladin, this character retains martial prowess and spellcasting, though their divine abilities may now be twisted into necrotic or fear-based effects. An Oathbreaker Paladin, for example, can command undead, instill dread in enemies, and channel dark energy. If the character has not fully embraced the Oathbreaker archetype, they might instead be a Fallen Aasimar, gaining necrotic energy-infused attacks and a fearsome aura.

Thematically, a Fallen Paladin with a lance and mount often resembles a dark knight or a tragic figure seeking redemption or revenge. They may serve a new master, such as a fiend, death knight, or powerful warlord, or act as a lone warrior forging their own path. This character is perfect for gothic, war-torn, or morally grey campaigns where their presence looms as both a fearsome combatant and a compelling figure of lost honor and internal conflict.
