Cavalier Challenge Drawback Workaround?


Rules Questions


Dwarves of Golarion has a feat ‘Stance of the Xorn’. This feat states that creatures that flank you do not receive their normal +2 flank bonus. You still count as flanked, so you can be snuck attack, it just negates the +2 flank bonus. The Cavalier’s challenge ability says that all foes besides the target of your challenge count as flanking you, and therefore get a +2 flank bonus. It also says that improved uncanny dodge or similar abilities can not protect you from being flanked as a result of your challenge. Now the way I read it, because Stance of the Xorn doesn’t actually negate the flank, but just the bonus gained by the flank, it should get rid of the +2 bonus gained by all of your non challenged enemies. The cavalier might still be rogue bait, but this combo otherwise seems to get rid of the main drawback of the cavalier’s main ability.
