Hello,
I'm just trying to be thorough with this. My character concept is to do the following:
Human 1st Cavalier - Gendarme archtype
at 2nd lvl become Hunter with no arch-type
at third level change to paladin and stay paladin for rest of character history.
Cavalier can be any alignment. A Hunter has to be any neutral. Paladin has to be Lawful Good.
I am not seeing any entry on the Hunter that restricts ex-hunters such as the parent class druid stating changing alignment makes a druid lose abilities and spells. Ranger has no such restrictions and is also a parent class.
The hunter aspect is important for the spell Leaden Blades.
My feats are important because I'm trying to make a medium mount size charging character.
1st lvl - Undersized Mount (planning to ride a pony)
Human - Mounted Combat
Gendarme 1st lvl bonus - Ride By Attack
3rd lvl - Spirited Charge (triple damage for a lance)
So I'm hoping by 3rd character level to round one of combat cast Leaden Blades making lance damage go from 1d8 to 2d6. Then round two charge on pony using Spirited Charge feat to raise the 2d6 lance damage to 6d6 for a minute of combat at least when able to charge. Also, I believe there should be the Hunter animal emulation Bear to raise for a +2 STR enhancement and maybe even add in paladin SMITE for one potential huge hit/damage.
Is anyone seeing flaws in this? I'm planning to get this character started in 7 days of this posting.
Thanks!
