Cavalier is a custom prestige class available on Arelith.

Introduction

Cavaliers are warriors who specialize in fighting while mounted rather than on foot. While they can take many forms, ranging from the prototypical heavily armored knight to the lightly armored raider, they are usually seen using a lance as their weapon of choice. As expert horsemen, they have a special bond with their steed, who is usually never far from them. Whether they fight for a cause, for profit, or for glory, Cavaliers can always be found charging fearlessly into combat.

A Cavalier is conditioned to charge into battle against even the most fearsome of opponents, and gains a +2 bonus to saving throws vs fear. This bonus increases to +4 at level 3, and +6 at level 5.

Level 1: Practiced Rider
A Cavalier is an expert horseman, and gains a bonus to ride equal to five times their cavalier level.

Level 4: Spirited Charge
A Cavalier can use a lance while mounted to charge against their opponent, delivering a single devastating blow before riding away to prepare their next attack. The Cavalier’s attacks per round are reduced to 1. Upon successfully hitting an opponent they gain a damage bonus equal to 6 times their character level +1d20. The attack carries with it a 5% chance to deal +50% bonus damage. This attack has a cooldown of 12 seconds.

Level 5: Summon Mount
A level 5 Cavalier is bonded with their horse, and they can summon their personal steed if it isn’t already nearby.
