It’s an interesting one as Paladin’s didn’t have piercing skill at all (shanking villains ain’t noble) until lances came around (and tbh lances without horses make zero sense, neither does them being 2hp). So some dev just stuck what they thought would be a sensible value while ignoring previous design philosophy that plate melees somewhat shun practice of scabbiness.

I guess paladins and rogues not having overlap in piercing weapons, and lances being noble, justified paladins having a boosted pierce skill?
