Cavalier Rewrites


Homebrew and House Rules


Ok, so I *really* like the Cavalier class...except for the mounted thing. So has anyone done any rewrites/archetypes for the cavalier class that replaces its mounted abilities with other stuff? Or are there any 3PP products that have done so? The only archetype I know of is Huntsmaster, and it's very cool, but I'd like to know of more options if they're out there.

Thanks in advance! :)


the Standard Bearer doesn't lose the mount entirely but focuses more on his banner. So it loses less potential when going indoors.

Musketeers get guns instead of horses.

Rite Publishing's Inspiring Commander gets support abilities instead of his mount.


Yep, Inspiring Commander is a good one.

Also providing a link to the Dreadnaught a dedicated infantry commander. If the Primary/Secondary class stuff throws you, just treat it as a Cavalier archetype, which is really what it is.


The Samurai is an alternate class for the Cavalier, and seems to be fairly mount-lite (just gets a mount and the mounted archery ability, not as "charge" focused).

Strip away the cultural implications and the mechanics give a neat "tough Knight" feel.

Get off the forums, brother!


Thanks guys! Inspiring commander and dreadnaught seem good for what I'm going for :)

@Kaisoku: I do indeed like the samurai, especially the sword saint archetype for it.


Remove Cavalier from game, make its class features fighter exclusive feats.
