Hi guys! New poster here with a 1st Edition AD&D question regarding the Cavalier/Paladin class relationships.
In Unearthed Arcana, Cavaliers can increase their dexterity and constitution by an initial roll of percentile dice at first level. An initial roll of 87 is shown with an initial DEX 15 as 15/87. When they achieve each higher level, 2d10 is rolled and added to their STR, DEX and CON scores. When they achieve 100, the main score is raised by one with a carry-over of percentile score (ie. initial 15/87, 2d10 roll of 19 for new score of 16/06). Paladins get to raise their CHA score in the same manner.
I would like to quote Unearthed Arcana on page 16.
"The powers, abilities and level advancement of the paladin as described in the Player's Handbook remain unchanged. In addition, the paladin gains the abilities and powers of the cavalier class, including weapons of choice, parrying ability, horsemanship, saving throw bonuses, and immunity to fear. The padadin may also increase his or her charisma score in the same way that he or she (as a cavalier) can increase strength, dexterity and constitution."
I take this to mean that a paladin gets to increase STR, DEX, CON, and CHA in this way. I'm being told that they only get to increase STR and CHA.
I've always played Paladins the way I've interpreted that passage without any disagreements until now. Which is the correct interpretation?
Thanks
