Cavalier (Paladin Kit)

This class represents the most common image of the knight: the chivalrous warrior who epitomizes honor, courage, and loyalty. Cavaliers specialize in battling "classical" evil monsters such as demons and dragons.

Advantages

  • +3 to-hit and damage against demons, devils, dragons, and wyverns.
  • May cast Remove Fear once per day per level.
  • Immune to charm, fear, poison, and morale failure.
  • 20% resistance to fire and acid.

Disadvantages

  • May not use ranged weapons (both missile and thrown).

When to pick it

  • Cavaliers are the premier demon and dragon hunter — IWD:EE's expansion content has plenty of both.
  • Innate poison immunity removes a huge category of cheap deaths early in the game.
