Help with Cavalier builds

[sir_blacksoutalot]

I'm curious about the Cavalier class, but I can't seem to get it working in JEGS. Does anyone have any Cavalier builds they'd be willing to share? Looking for either a pure Pally/Cav build or at least lvl 26 so as to retain max casting level.

I'm mainly trying to understand which feats provide best synergy for this class, and with an eye toward which feats will help fare best in epic areas.

I suppose that sounds a bit general, but any insight into how this class operates will be helpful. Thanks all.

You lose TU ( EDM ) and Divine Health for Shield slam, FEs, Epic Prowness and Smite I. Therefore you lose the synergy with CHA and one needs to focus on STR. Here is an example build modified to work with light armors. This can reach 60AC ( with ICE and Silver Beard ). 38DC Shield Slam, Imp knockdown, 10DR (Blessing of Bahamut for boss fights ) and all the nice damage from spells such as Holy Sword, Lawful sword. Divine Favor etc. Max the heal skill for healing with heal kits and spot to be able to detect everyone

Here is an example build, one i already play with 28CL - http://nwn2db.com/build/?251522. Even if fully dispeled, it has the utility and sustain to perform.

However, without TU you wont be able to solo the Balor naked

Maybe Paladin 25 Frenzied Berserker 5?

Other than explaining how a paladin rages etc, FBs are non lawful. Cant be done

Thanks guys, that helps shed light on some things.

Just remember that Cavalier levels are Paladin levels for all intents and purposes (Paladin spellbook/CL/feat/epic feat progression). Cavalier is not a separate class, but a subset of the Paladin base class.
