    Personally I think the Cavalier is the best prestige class. You get the basic paladin stuff, a few bonuses, and you cant use missile weapons. But who uses missile weapons as a paladin? you get resistances, immune to fear, all so you cant use missile weapons. I say go for it.

    [​IMG] I started playing SOA recently and am having a great time. It is nice to be able to have chats about our mistakes, successes and questions as we go not just look up old archives. The game I have just started is a cavalier who will only use evil NPCs ( and one neutral theif I'm not good enough to do it without one) as they can't be doing evil while they're with him and when they do good it's more of an achievement. Each to their own ( within the rules of the board) and go you good thing.

    greenhorn for now

    A class that can be reached only in one race can NOT be prestige. Human=paladin? Bah!
    Same goes for multiclassed illusionist.

    Racism is main reason I hate d&d rules for.

    For second, I don't think there is "prestige" in classes that you can't choose between at least two different alignments in character creation.

    I really like the anti-undead paladin.
    Considering the ammount of vampires you face or even shadows. Those level drains really annoy me.

    Extremist: Do you also hate the 3E rules then? There any race can be whatever class they desire, I love 3E.

    TarsomCarsomyr: The difference between a Prestige Class and a Kit is that you coose a kit like an add-on to a normal class. A Prestige class is effectively a new class, its like multiclassing. So there's the difference.

    My favorite paladin KIT: Hmmmm? i dont know thats why my current party consists of four paladins; one Inquisitor, one Cavalier, one Undead Hunter and one vanilla paladin. So i use them all. My other party members are Anomen and Jan, so my non-combat ressources are rather limited).

    Cavaliers is sertanly cool i must say. Now when me and my friend play in multiplayer I have a Cavalier as my second character, my friend has a clerec/thief as his second one. So with our main characters (Sorceress and Kensai) I think we make a good team. Our party has atleast taken us halfway thro the game so far :)

    Cavalier natural resistance and his other perks is very nice indeed and as mentiond before that he can not use missile weapons is not a real dissadvantage for most players since they would never use them anyway. :)

    Cavalier can only have two stars in a weapons skill right ? (cos that would be the only flaw I can think of ;) )

    Cavalier is cool but I prefer the Inquisitor Paladin. The true sight and dispell magic (at double his level) abilities make him quite awesome.

    (Except when he runs away in panic when Viconia does her control undead thing, heh.)

    Extremist,you can modify the rules anytime, anywhere. Roleplaying is the first, the rules are only the second!

    [​IMG] When a cavalier grabs that damn Carsomyr, he truly outweigh dispelling inquisitor.
