=Cavalier Class Abilities=
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Cavaliers are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, light, and medium) and with shields (except tower shields).

Challenge (Ex): Once per day, a cavalier can challenge a foe to combat. As a swift action, the cavalier chooses
one target within sight to challenge. The cavalier’s melee attacks deal extra damage whenever the attacks are made
against the target of his challenge. This extra damage is equal to the cavalier’s level. The cavalier can use this
ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day for every three levels beyond 1st, to a maximum of
seven times per day at 19th level.

Challenging a foe requires much of the cavalier’s concentration. The cavalier takes a –2 penalty to his
Armor Class, except against attacks made by the target of his challenge.
The challenge remains in effect until the target is dead or unconscious or until the combat ends. Each cavalier’s
challenge also includes another effect which is listed in the section describing the cavalier’s order.

Mount (Ex): A cavalier gains the service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry him into battle. This mount functions
as a druid’s animal companion, using the cavalier’s level as his effective druid level. The creature must be one that he
is capable of riding and is suitable as a mount. A Medium cavalier can select a camel or a horse. A Small cavalier can
select a pony or wolf, but can also select a boar or a dog if he is at least 4th level. The GM might approve other animals
as suitable mounts.

A cavalier does not take an armor check penalty on Ride checks while riding his mount. The mount is always
considered combat trained and begins play with Light Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat. A cavalier’s mount does
not gain the share spells special ability.

A cavalier’s bond with his mount is strong, with the pair learning to anticipate each other’s moods and moves.
Should a cavalier’s mount die, the cavalier may find another mount to serve him after 1 week of mourning.
This new mount does not gain the link, evasion, devotion, or improved evasion special abilities until the next time
the cavalier gains a level.

Order (Ex): At 1st level, a cavalier must pledge himself to a specific order. The order grants the cavalier a number
of bonuses, class skills, and special abilities. In addition, each order includes a number of edicts
that the cavalier must follow. If he violates any of these edicts, he loses the benefits from his order’s
challenge ability for 24 hours. The violation of an edict is subject to GM interpretation.
A cavalier cannot change his order without undertaking a lengthy process to dedicate himself
to a new cause. When this choice is made, he immediately loses all of the benef its from
his old order. He must then follow the edicts of his new order for one entire level without gaining
any benef its from that order. Once accomplished, he gains all of the bonuses from his new order. Note that
the names of these orders might vary depending upon the campaign setting or GM’s preference.

Order of the Cockatrice

A cavalier who belongs to this order serves only himself, working to further his own aims and increase his own
prestige. Cavaliers of this order tend to be selfish and concerned only with personal goals and objectives.
Edicts: The cavalier must keep his own interests and aims above those of all others. He must always accept payment
when it is due, rewards when earned, and an even (or greater) share of loot. The cavalier must take every opportunity to
increase his own stature, prestige, and power.

Challenge: Whenever an order of the cockatrice cavalier issues a challenge, he receives a +1 morale bonus
on all melee damage rolls made against the target of his challenge as long as he is the only creature threatening the
target. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses.

Skills: An order of the cockatrice cavalier adds Appraise (Int) and Perform (Cha) to his list of class skills. In addition,
an order of the cockatrice cavalier adds his Charisma modifier to the DC on another creature’s attempt to
demoralize him through Intimidate (in addition to his Wisdom modifier, as normal).

Tactician (Ex): At 1st level, a cavalier receives a teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat. As a standard action, the cavalier can grant this feat to all allies within 30 feet who can see and hear him. Allies retain the use of this bonus feat for 3 rounds plus 1 round for every two levels the cavalier possesses. Allies do not need to meet the prerequisites of these bonus feats. The cavalier can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter.

-[[File:Pathfinder_Mercenary_Company_Cyred.jpg|thumb|left]]Cyred has lived a long life, by human reckoning. The Empire allowed for great wealth, and an easy life for those that possessed it. In the days before the Empire fell to scattered warlords, Cyred led a serene life, with no wants or needs unfulfilled. He also had no drive, nothing to strive for. That all came to an end twenty years ago.
-It was hard after that. A man with no skills other than drinking and carousing doesn't far when life depends on swords and the skill to use them. He almost died several times, before learning the skills he needed to survive. He also found a cause. Himself. Cyred wants the riches and respect his family's name gave him. He hungers for glory, to prove if only to himself that deserves a finer, better life.
-His family may be gone, his old life may be gone, even the man Cyred was is gone. But there are dangers in the world. Monsters and brigands that prey on others, and those that will pay to be defended. The coin isn't enough, but it will help to get him what he wants. And he's strong enough to give one hell of a fight to anyone who would try to take it from him.
