I'd suggest using the mount's STR rather than the rider's for damage in a charge. It's the extra mass and speed from the mount that makes a lance charge so devastating.

Probably with a modifier for speed. Something like:

Cautious: -1D
Normal" +0D
High Speed: +1D
All-Out: +2D

Crunching the numbers a little, a medieval knight in full armor, on a heavy warhorse hits with about the same energy as the bullet from a .50 caliber machine gun.

I would max out the extra Ds well before you hit the top speed of a swoop! At some point the lance will just be yanked out of the characters grip on impact. Maybe max speed bonus = to character Str.

I like the idea of the speed chart. My problem is that it should be batted off of hard speed numbers rather then speed category. A swoop going cruising is faster then a horse going all out.
