>By mid levels, you aren't insta-killing anything of equivalent CR, even with a spirited charging lance
I'm not so sure about that. You figure a Fighter 10 with an 18 Strength wearing a Belt of Giant Strength +4 and just using a +1 Lance with Power Attack will probably one-shot most things his level. That's without using Large Lances, Weapon Specialization, Rhino Hide armor, or any other kind of fuckery.

That's 93-114 damage. At CR 10, a Rakshasa has 52HP, a Formian Myrmarch has 102HP, a Nine-Headed Pyro/Cyro Hydra has 97HP, a Guardian Naga has 93HP, etc. etc.

And of course with a crit, or even mild buffing, all bets are off.
