Cavalier Orders
In place of the standard cavalier orders presented in Pathfinder resources, any character playing a Cavalier will be required to work with the GM to design a an order tailored to the character and campaign by selecting aspects of existing published orders. Two such examples are presented below.
A cavalier who devotes herself to the order of the rose is sworn to upholding the cause of the people and revolutionary idealism. A cavalier of the order of the rose takes a stalwart stance against tyranny in any form, and fights to see the right of free expression maintained.
Edicts: The cavalier must oppose those who seek to control others without their consent and support those who seek freedom from oppression. She must abhor slavery of any kind, and use her influence to to encourage artistic and ideological expression.
Banner and Dressage: The Order of the Rose banner varies from chapter to chapter, but all banners feature two roses on thorny branches crossed over another symbol. For example, in Kintargo, the banner of the Order of the Rose featured two roses crossed over a silver shield, with the words “Rise as One” displayed below. Order of the rose cavaliers typically wear armor that has been decorated with roses, or birds and other imagery associated with freedom. The colors purple, red, and silver are significant to them.
Challenge: Whenever an order of the order cavalier issues a challenge, her allies receive a +1 circumstance bonus on melee attack rolls against the target of her challenge whenever she is threatening the target. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses.
Skills: An order of the rose cavalier adds Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (local) (Int) to her list of class skills. Whenever the cavalier uses Diplomacy to persuade others to join her cause, she receives a competence bonus on the check equal to 1/2 her cavalier level (minimum +1).
Order Abilities
Aid Allies (2nd): At 2nd level. when an order of the rose cavalier uses an aid other action on one of her allies, the bonus that ally receives is +2 higher. This bonus increases by +1 at 8th level, and every six levels thereafter.
Greater Aid (8th): At 8th level, an order of the rose cavalier’s ability to aid her allies improves. As a standard action, she may select a number of allies within 30ft, but no more than her Charisma modifier, and use the aid another action on them as per normal. Alternatively, as a move action, she may select a single ally, and use the aid another action as normal on that ally, except that the resulting bonus will be two higher. Regardless of whether she chooses to aid one ally, or multiple, Greater Aid may be used once per day, and an additional time per day for every four class levels there after.
Rise as One (15th): At 15th level, the cavalier can spend a standard action to move up to her speed and make a melee attack. All allies within 30 feet can also move up to their speed and make a melee attack as an immediate action. This movement and attack can be made as a charge if the movement qualifies. All attacks receive a competence bonus equal to the cavaliers bonus to aid other checks. A cavalier can use this ability once per combat. This ability may not be combined with Greater Aid.Statistics: Posted by Mr_Praetorian — Thu Aug 13, 2015 6:15 am
