[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3029603, member: 7883"] Nope, he's not a "fighter on a horse". He's more like a paladin.....it's a warrior-type class that is not a pure fighter, and has abilities tailored to his niche. Many of them are similar to the ranger's combat style feats, where he gets a choice of two at particular levels. I don't want to post all the abilities on a message board, as I'm sure that's not quite legal. He gets more skill points, and gets a bunch of extra social skills, which fighters don't get. He gets to focus his abilities with certain skills, gets the leadership feat as a bonus, and a bunch of bonus feats tailored to mounted combat. He gets bonuses with particular weapons, the D12, better will save than a fighter, a code of honour and behaviour he must adhere to, and some other stuff. I don't know how else to describe it without just listing abilities.....but aside from stuff which, yes, fighters can do, like some of the bonus feats, the things which differentiate him are: 1-code of honour 2-Lawful alignment 3-Better will save 4-A bunch of extra social-oriented skills as class skills. 5-More skill points per level. 6-Special abilities against fear effects, which he can also use to give courage to allies The one thing I was surprised by is that his horse doesn't get tougher with levels like the paladin's. Of course, the Knight class from Legends of Excalibur has that, as well as bonuses with wearing heavy armor which are unavailable to fighters. Green Ronin's cavalier can get bonuses with heavy armour, but has to spend feats to do so. Green Ronin also included some cool prestige classes, like the Knight of Quality, where characters get a pool of "honour points" every time they do something in line with their code of conduct (ie. protecting an innocent, honourable conduct, donating to the poor, etc.). They can then use those points to activate special abilities. Banshee [/QUOTE]
