Inquisitor - A Better Cavalier than the Cavalier?


Round 3: Alchemist and Inquisitor

RPG Superstar 2009 Top 16, 2012 Top 32

Solo tactics and bonus tactical feats need to be cavalier class abilities. I suppose they can still remain inquisitor class abilities (although the ability to share certain judgment bonuses with others would be a better inquisitor class ability). But either way, solo tactics and bonus tactical feats definitely need to be cavalier class abilities. What screams mounted knight more than a bunch of conditional bonus feats that activate whenever you are adjacent to your mount?

Also, from a flavor standpoint, "judgment" may as well be "oath of vengeance."

Whose to say they are not part of my redesign of some aspects of the cavalier...

Nice!

On a related note, I'd also like to suggest sneaking that flavor-only witch hex about glimpsing the future into the oracle class somewhere.

Hee hee, I was just coming on here to say that the cavalier should have the abilities for the tactical feats and half its bonus feats should have to be tactical ones. lol

Jason you rock :)

These thoughts make me happy. In the pants.


I just hope the fighter remains the best "fighter", the class already had its share of anonymity in AD&D2E and I really wouldn't like to see a new "super fighter" that makes a straight fighter obsolete.

That said I haven't read the new class yet, but I just felt like giving my spontaneous opinion.

Well, the tac feats for flanking means even more quickly dead cavaliers.
