The cavalier receives a +4 bonus on melee attack rolls on a charge while mounted (instead of the normal +2). In addition, the cavalier does not suffer any penalty to his AC after making a charge attack while mounted. Challenge (Ex): As a swift action, the cavalier chooses one target within sight to challenge. The cavalier’s melee attacks deal extra damage whenever the attacks are made against the target of his challenge. This extra damage is equal to the cavalier’s level. The cavalier takes a –2 penalty to his Armor Class, except against attacks made by the target of his challenge. The challenge remains in effect until the target is dead or unconscious or until the combat ends. (Cockatrice) He also receives a +1 morale bonus on all melee damage rolls made against the target of his challenge as long as he is the only creature threatening the target. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses. Tactician (Ex): At 1st level, a cavalier receives a teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat. As a standard action, the cavalier can grant this feat to all allies within 30 feet who can see and hear him. Allies retain the use of this bonus feat for 3 rounds plus 1 round for every two levels the cavalier possesses. Allies do not need to meet the prerequisites of these bonus feats. The cavalier can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter. Braggart (Ex): The cavalier can spend a standard action to extol his own accomplishments and battle prowess. He receives Dazzling Display as a bonus feat. He does not need a weapon in hand to use this ability. The cavalier receives a +2 morale bonus on melee attack rolls made against demoralized targets.
Combat Reference:
Charge
After moving, you may make a single melee attack. You get a +2 bonus on the attack roll and take a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn. note: Cavlier's Charge, cavalier receives a +4 bonus on melee attack rolls on a charge while mounted and no penalty to his AC after making a charge attack while mounted. Lances and Charge Attacks: A lance deals double damage if employed by a mounted character in a charge. Mounted Combat
Your mount acts on your initiative count as you direct it. You move at its speed, but the mount uses its action to move. A horse (not a pony) is a Large creature and thus takes up a space 10 feet (2 squares) across. For simplicity, assume that you share your mount's space during combat. With a DC 5 Ride check, you can guide your mount with your knees so as to use both hands to attack or defend yourself. This is a free action. When you attack a creature smaller than your mount that is on foot, you get the +1 bonus on melee attacks for being on higher ground. If your mount moves more than 5 feet, you can only make a single melee attack. Essentially, you have to wait until the mount gets to your enemy before attacking, so you can't make a full attack. Even at your mount's full speed, you don't take any penalty on melee attacks while mounted. If your mount charges, you also take the AC penalty associated with a charge. If you make an attack at the end of the charge, you receive the bonus gained from the charge. When charging on horseback, you deal double damage with a lance (see Charge).

History:
Garin Veacali of the noble family of Veacali in Velummis of Lastwall is the third son of four. From an early age, he was expected to follow his family's proud military tradition and had no other ideas to deviate from that path. He learned to milk his family's name for what it was worth, but was ultimately more interested in charming women than his military schooling. Nonetheless, he has proven to do well and has participated in more than one cavalier patrol though has not received any special recognition. He has citizenship in Velummis but not in Vigil. Unlike his siblings, he had elected to remain Oathless and not received a mark of justice, feeling them too limiting, which is a source of conflict in his family. Garin feels that he has to prove himself more due to his not taking the oaths. Lately though, the need to prove himself is more pressing than ever, his two older brothers already accomplished in the military and his younger sister already rising in the ranks and received several honors with him left behind. He recognizes his nation's efforts to watch over Tar-Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant, and believes in their cause. He also believes that doing something remarkable concerning this would net him glory and commendations.
Fluff Questions:
Where are they from? The more affluent parts of the city of Vellumis in Lastwall. Why are they an adventurer?
What is their history with Professor Lorrimor (how did they meet, were they adventuring together, etc).
The Professor met Garin in Lastwall. The cavalier, who has heard of the professor's reputation, immediately offered to show him around, recognizing Lorrmior's worth as a contact. He acted as a guide in Lastwall and introduced him to many places. He also accompanied the professor on adventures in the dangerous regions of Lastwall during his stay, on one occasion saving the professor's life. After the professor left, Garin kept in touch with him, because he recognize the worth of keeping in contact of him, felt that one of his few true accomplishments is his saving the professor's life and expected to collect on that, and because he genuinely enjoyed his company. What motivates them?
What are their strengths and weaknesses?
At least, that's what he thinks of himself. In reality, he's barely out of school and a bit more impressed with his own capabilities than anything. It's undeniable that he has strength and is intelligent in battle, but other areas are somewhat lacking. His experience with animals is limited to the domestic creatures of Lastwall but he does know his way around a warhorse at the very least. He's certainly charming and polite though he's too full of himself most of the time to be truly diplomatic. He makes a point of avoiding trouble as much as possible but he responds to challenges quickly, especially when they concern his honor or his capabilities . . . in bed. If they were a piece of furniture, what type of furniture would they be? Garin would be a couch. But not just any type of couch, no, he would be a fainting couch and more specifically a blend of that with a chaise longue. Please see this representation of Garin as a piece of furniture: <url> Observe the antique beauty mixed with a more modern style: the ornate carved silver leaf and the high grade of the materials . See the stunning craftsmanship of the cushions, how soft they look. Think of how the fabric must feel! Truly high-class. Just imagine it in your living room, attracting all the attention, dominating its surroundings but also working together with them to create a more refined atmosphere. It is the centerpiece. Now imagine yourself reclining in it. How elegant!
