Thanks Sir Roar! That guide has filled in a lot of the lingering questions I had. Once I try Cavalier in action I'll probably have more though!

Thanks Lemeres! After reading up I'm leaning again toward rolling a human Cavalier. There's so many rules in Pathfinder it can be tough wading through it all, I appreciate the help you're all giving in helping me figure things out.

Thanks Gluttony! That's good to know, but I don't think I've read anything about squeezing through passages yet. Would you happen to know where in the rulebook I could read up on the rules surrounding that?

I think I'll take your suggestion Lemeres. I'd prefer to roll a human, but I hate the idea of having to leave behind my mount if I encounter a narrow hallway :(

Perhaps a boar riding gnome cavalier of the cockatrice...

Thank you for the quick answers! There's so much info in the core game that I've been getting lost in it all, thank you for helping me make sense of it. I'm definitely going to be rolling a Cavalier for my group's next session now >:D

I'm very new to the game and so is my group. We've played a bit in the Beginner Box and are about to expand into the full game, so we've been reading up on the new classes that will be available to us. Cavalier caught my eye, but I'm a little confused by how the mount works.

In the description of the Cavalier's mount the rulebook says "This mount functions as a druid's animal companion, using the cavalier's level as his effective druid level."

Does that mean that it can engage in battle alongside the Cavalier (like an animal companion of a druid) and not only be used as a mount? Or is that statement purely for understanding how the mount levels up?

And would I need to train the mount for combat first with the handle animal skill for it to battle?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
