By definition,cavaliers are horsemen ,so do cavaliers get mounts?I mean, i saw one of the things in the to do list were mounts.Technically, this is wrong .Shouldn’t the class be named something else?Just sayin
Cavalier kav-uh-leer] noun: One having the spirit or bearing of a knight; a courtly gentleman; gallant.
Just gonna’ redirect this comment thread to the actual class page, on the subject of Dual Wielding.
Since it’s not currently posted either the pdf manual or the current class page, I was curious what the limits are on this trait. Could it go up to as heavy as two long swords, or two war axes? (Assuming I have that right, both of those are 1d8 weapons)
And, on a similar note, any thoughts on Barbarians gaining a similar, if weaker trait?
Barbarians get the Rage Attack at 4th. A character could only use two one handed weapons
