Non mounted Cavalier


Advice


Has anyone created an archetype, or know of one, for a non mounted cavalier? I really like the flavor of the cavalier but most of the games I've been in the mounts we use don't come into play and I'm worried about creating a character where a large amount of his abilities are not going to be used.


Ultimate Combat's Samurai. It's an alternate cavalier without the mount. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateCombat/classes/samurai.html

Samurai still have mounts.

My apologies. Not sure what I was thinking.

The musketeer doesn't, though; it instead has a firearm. I'm not sure if that's still in the flavor you wanted, though...

Huntmaster out of the brand new Animal Archive. He gets 1 or more animal companions. And his choices are between dogs and birds.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I really wish there were more mountless Cavalier options.


The Sword Saint Samurai archetype from Dragon Empires Primer.


You can of course play a small marshal, so that your mount fits everywhere, and with a mauled leg (or even just an arrow to the knee), it could be your service animal, so it's even allowed in social situations.


If you take an archetype that trades away most of the charging/mounted stuff, you could just ignore the mount or use it as a flanker. Small cavaliers on medium mounts are also an option if large-sized mounts are a problem.


To actually contribute rather than lament, Have you tried looking at the Tactician Fighter? He the tactician stuff without being tied to a horse.
