So crazy it just might work..

[Graduation]

I was just thinking and tell me if im wrong but in PF the samurai is essentially a cavalier but is still its own base class so then dose that mean as a samurai can cross class into cavalier? so then you would get two orders and double up on the challenge ability or am i wrong?

thax for any input cheers

No go.

The alternate classes are basically archetypes. You can't be a ninja 1/rogue 1, you can't be a samurai 1/cavalier 1.

Alternative classes cannot dual class into their alternates.

[Quatar]

Samurai and ninja are not their own classes, they're basicly archetypes of cavalier and rogue.
They're named alternate classes because the changes to the base class are so huge that its easier to write it down as seperate class than an archetype that basicly switches out 90% of the stuff

[Paul Watson]

It's not it's own base class. It's an alternate class of the Cavalier so it is still considered a cavalier, so, no you can't multi class into each.

You may be able to cavalier archetypes though.
