A lance that was meant to kill someone (i.e not a tourney lance) would have likely been made from a sturdier and heavier wood, and would have been gripped pretty far down the shaft.

Pikes are typically 12′ to 18′ long, and are not wieldy enough to do that with. Yes, it’s a fantasy game, but part of the idea is to make a plausible world for the characters to interact with.
