Core Abilities & Features
The gravitational force behind the Base Cavalier[1] lies in its multifaceted[2] capabilities on both the battlefield and in social arenas. At its core, the Cavalier is built around the concept of a valiant knight, wielding a perfect synthesis of prowess and charisma. By prioritizing strength and charisma, it not only strikes hard but also stands as a beacon of leadership among allies.
The synergy between a robust Strength and strategic usage of Charisma-focused skills like Diplomacy stitches together this build’s social and combat fabric. Rolling as a human provides not just depth through a bonus feat but also breadth with added skill points, allowing for vital customization. Emphasizing Constitution ensures the Cavalier can endure the rigors of melee combat, while its Charisma enables effective communication and bluffing, essential for navigating noble circles.
A vital cog in the machine are traits like ‘Rich Parents,’ which augment the character’s start by ensuring access to high-quality equipment, further compounded by ‘Armor Master’ to mitigate skill check penalties. The Order of the Sword bolsters this knightly motif by improving mounted combat efficiency and bolstering mental resilience with Will Saves. Mounted feats combine to form a devastating charge-based assault style, spectacularly escalating damage potential via ‘Spirited Charge’ and the ‘Vital Strike’ suite, making the Cavalier a formidable mounted combatant.
Equipment Progression
| Level Range | Equipment | Details |
|---|---|---|
| L1-5 | Masterwork Lance | Essential for increased accuracy with charge attacks; crucial in early levels for mounted combat. |
| L6-10 | +1 Plate Armor | Enhances defensive capabilities, providing crucial protection in more challenging encounters. |
| L11-15 | +2 Lance | Deals more damage; essential for maximizing mounted charge attacks with Spirited Charge. |
| L16-20 | +3 Full Plate Armor | Increases AC significantly; critical for facing high-level threats. |
Combat Scenarios
- Dungeon Crawls:
- This is where the Cavalier faces a bit of a challenge. Due to tight corridors, the mounted advantage is limited. Stay at the front, utilizing your high AC with your shield and armor. Use your longsword and challenge targets to keep foes focused on you while allies strategize. Emphasize your social skills to mitigate traps or negotiate, if possible.
- Open Fields:
- This environment is where the Cavalier shines. With your mount, initiate combat with a Mounted Combat-Ride By Attack-Spirited Charge combination to maximize damage. Use Chain Challenge strategically, switching foes when they go down. Your mobility and wide range of attack options give you a tremendous edge, using every opportunity to deal significant damage and support allies with your tactical feats.
- Ambushes:
- Ambushes require quick adaptation. Use Improved Initiative to gain a favorable position early in the fight. If caught off-mount, seek to remount quickly or use Broken Wing Gambit to defend and counterattack. Take advantage of Outflank and Tactician abilities to share bonuses with allies. Keep foes engaged using Through-Cover maneuvers to prevent being overwhelmed.
- Defensive Stands:
- In defensive holds, form a tight line with allies. Place yourself where you can provoke attacks, enabling extra attacks from Broken Wing Gambit. Your high AC allows you to absorb incoming attacks, using these moments to tactically strike back with support from allies. Offensively, hold positions and lure attackers into flanks for increased damage.
- Urban Encounters:
- Urban settings may constrain mounted combat but don’t limit your potential. Utilize diplomacy and sense motive checks to read the room and diffuse tension if necessary. Engage with your longsword and shield, taking advantage of your armor mastery to reduce penalties. Maneuver through alleys for tactical advantage, rallying nearby allies with Tactician and Banner bonuses to push back hostile forces.
Weaknesses & Counters
| Weakness | Counter |
|---|---|
| Indoor Fighting | Leverage Banner and Teamwork feats to support allies. Use Longsword for close combat and rely on High AC for defense. |
| Low Dexterity | Utilize Heavy Shield and Full Plate Armor to enhance AC. Improved Initiative feat boosts combat readiness. |
| Limited Attack Variety | Exploit Vital Strike feat chain for great damage output on singular attacks. Use Challenge ability for consistent offensive pressure. |
| Over-reliance on Mount | Invest in Mount skills like Balance, Acrobatics, and Perception. Equip Mount with Full Plate Armor for increased durability. |
| Vulnerable to Ranged Attacks | Close distance quickly with mounted speed. Use tactics like Outflank and Broken Wing Gambit to control battlefield movement. |
Roleplaying a Knightly Cavalier
Consider your character’s knightly demeanor in every situation. Embody chivalry, displaying honor in both victory and defeat. Your Cavalier’s sense of duty is paramount—reflect this in your interactions, whether negotiating with nobility or rallying your comrades in battle. Engage with the world around you as if each encounter is a chance to champion justice and uphold your order’s values.
Social interactions should mirror the traditions you hold. When introducing this Cavalier in events, describe the poise and grace with which they move. Their presence should emanate confidence, demanding respect without needing to voice it. The charisma that bolsters your Diplomacy skill can be demonstrated through eloquent speech and unwavering moral principles. Let the Cavalier’s social adeptness shine when navigating through courtly intrigues, using Knowledge (Nobility) to influence and forge alliances.
Theme of Duty and Honor
Your mount is more than just a means to an end; it’s a steadfast partner in your knightly journey. Treat it as such, valuing and caring for it with the reverence it deserves. Engage in roleplay where you share a bond with your horse, communicating as though it understands the gravity of your quests. Display this dedication through interactions that underscore your commitment to the ideals of chivalry.
Theme your adventures around moments that test your Cavalier’s dedication to their code. Offer redemption or adherence to knightly vows when the narrative presents a moral dilemma. Reflect on decisions taken that may either cement or challenge your character’s convictions. These choices should resonate beyond the battlefield, weaving into your overall character development and echoing your deep-seated beliefs in both duty and honor.

1. ↑ Cavalier – The Base Cavalier – Pathfinder 1E ( The Base Cavalier )
The Base Cavalier
The Cavalier represents the ideal of a knight and it’s mount charge into the fray, leading his companion against impossible odds, but also capable of long range reconnaissance and an exemplar social adept capable of integrating in higher society. This build intends to double down on that general idea and make the Cavalier shine as a whole.
Class
Race
Human, we are going for the stereotypical knight here, also, a bonus feat and an additional skill point each level is extremely hard to refuse. That floating +2 goes into Strength.
Ability Scores

Traits
You need a ton of starting Equipment, so frankly, Rich Parents is not that bad of an idea. Armor Master is a great secondary to reduce the penalty to skill checks.
Favored Class Bonus
Hit Points, you are a melee character and melee characters demand more hp.
Skills
You need Handle Animal and Ride. Diplomacy is great as you have a fairly good Charisma too, allowing you to play the knightly side too. Knowledge(Nobility) fits our theme and Sense Motive helps us navigate Social scenes and provide a defense to our offensive Diplomacy skill. We will also need 5 points in Bluff by level 9, so four levels taking Knowledge(Nobility) and five in Bluff before resuming Know(Nob) is a good way to do so.
Order
We will be getting the Order of the Sword to double down on the aesthetic of a Knight. It will grant us a good bonus to Attack on our Challenge when mounted, gives us a bonus on Will Save which we desperately needed, and eventually make us a master rider.

8-Improved Critical(Lance)

So. We will be charging people. A Lot.
The Mounted Combat-Ride By Attack-Spirited Charge-Trample chain lets us double(triple with a Lance) attacks on a charge while mounted, overrun enemies with easy and lets our horse do an extra hoof attack while overruning someone. That is a lot of damage. Now, when Charging, we can still only make one attack per turn. Enters the Vital Strike feat chain, which eventually quadruples our damage dice(which stacks with Spirited Charge), for a bajillion damage. Chain Challenge let’s us switch targets of our Challenge as an Immediate Action when they get downed. Our Tactical Feats being shared with our allies via our Tactician class feature, Broken Wing Gambit, Outflank and Blood for the Empire are just crazy good buffers that allows extra flanking bonuses(if you are not mounted, you can flank with your mount), give enemies bonus to damage but when enemies attack you, all your allies get an Attack of Opportunity on the attacker and a Bonus to attack and damage when you hit enemies who have been damaged by your allies. Toughness gives us a bit more survivability and Improved Initiative will help our piss poor Initiative bonus quite a lot.
Mount
We will be going for a Horse here because of course All its Ability Score Improvements except the first one should go in Strength for more Overrun, the first one goes into Intelligence, which allows us a wider range of feat access.
Mount Feats per Level
1-Well Trained
2-Power Attack
5-Improved Overrun
8-Valiant Steed
10-Armor Proficiency(Light)
13-Armor Proficiency(Medium)
16-Armor Proficiency(Heavy)
18-Dodge
Well-Trained gives our Mount a bunch of extra tricks, Improved Overrun is self-explanatory, Valiant Steed makes our Mount really hard to scare and Armor Proficiency because let’s be honest, a Horse in Full Armor is just cool.
Mount Skills
Balance, Acrobatics and Perception will be your go to.
Equipment
Saddle and Horse Equipment. A Lance, a Longsword, a Heavy Shield and the best Armor you can get. Eventually, both yourself and your horse will be adorned in Full Plate Armor.
Final Thoughts on the Build
This build is a mounted monster, capable of dealing damage that would make Blaster spellcasters blush. It is also fairly tanky, and extremely mobile. However, it does have its weaknesses, like indoor fighting. However, even in these situations, your Banner grants good bonuses to your allies, your Teamwork feats and Tactician makes you a fantastic support character and you are still more than capable in combat via your Challenge and your Longsword/High AC via Shield and Armor.
2. ↑ Alchemist – Multifaceted – Pathfinder 1E ( multifaceted )
The Doctor, the Silver Lady, the Fallen Noble, the Fox, the Beast and the Murderer
This build. This build is pure autism ultra condensed into how many different forms and personalities we can have, while still be an actual playable character.
We are taking the Vivisectionist Archetype, switching our Bombs for Sneak Attack, we also take a few levels in Vigilante with the Serial Killer Archetype, and we also take the Master Chymist Prestige Class. Our leveling should look something like the following:
Class
Alchemist 8/Vigilante-Serial Killer 2/Master Chymist 10

We are going with Kitsune, with the Keen Kitsune and Superior Shapeshifter Alternate Racial Features.

Traits
Cosmopolitan gives us Linguistics as a Class Skill, Deep Cover lets us take 10 to assume and maintain our cover identity. Our real identity is that of a destitute noble from a family who got murdered. Our cover identity is that of an apothecary and local doctor working in the slums.

19-Extra Discovery
Weapon Finesse and Piranha Strike are no-brainers since we are dex-based, Fox Shape means that we now have three personas, the fallen kitsune noble form, human doctor form and a fox form. Orator let us use Linguistics for all things social which is bonkers good. Fiendish Obedience keyed to Jezelda means that by lvl 20 we become a true Werewolf, so a Werewolf hybrid from and a wolf form (5 forms/personas now).
Extra Discoveries will play into another of our form.
Vigilante-Serial Killer
Gives us yet another persona, that of a ruthless serial killer(6) this time directly letting us add a different alignment to the persona and giving us various protections against people trying to link our various personas to each other.

Final Thoughts on the Build
Yeah, we deal a truck ton of damage with our natural attacks between Piranha Strike, Sneak Attack, Brutality +6 and our Grand Mutagen. We are talking some 17d6+3d4+4d8+84 damage per round pre buffs is nothing to sneeze at, and with only Enlarge Person in, our damage grows all the way up to 5d8+20d6+88. Plus we are probably one of the best social builds as we have a plethora of different personas (Noble Kitsune, Human Doctor, Fox, Werewolf, Wolf, Dragon Lady, Serial Killer) we can play with some with different alignments from our real one too, making us the single best build at social infiltration in Pathfinder.
Plus we can create Golems to serve us, animal alchemical zombies and to top it off, we can create a simulacrum of us, which can take one of our persona while we are in another to further enhance the illusion that all of these are actually different people and not one very schizophrenic Kitsune.
