Cavalier Kit - Build Ideas

[Sun Wukong]

Cavalier still retains spellcasting, so consider keeping your total caster level as close as possible to 30. As for builds, let us just consider an Earth Genasi with Starting Strength of 19, Wisdom of 14 for spells, and 13 Intelligence for Improved Knockdown.

Now, if you spend all your ability increases and epic feats to raise strength, you will land yourself with strength ability score of 34, which you can buff up to 42 with your two strength increasing spells. (Bull's first and the other one cast second.)

Therefore, with nothing more than Greater Magic Weapon added on top, this build will have AB of 51.

As for damage, just imagine a longsword, 1d8 (Longsword) + 16 (Strength, one handed) + 5 (Greater Magic Weapon) = 25,5~

Now, add Northlander Hewing, and you get +21 damage per hit while reducing your AB and AC by two and halving your number of attacks. You will be hitting things for 50 points of damage a hit with the AB of 49, 44, and 39.

This is without even considering that you can potentially 'stun lock' an opponent with your Improved Knockdown and Shield Slam. It is what I did with my Rogue/Fighter Feinter when the 'Shield Slam' feats were originally added.

As for what pre-epic feats you need to take: Northlander Hewing, Knockdown, Improved Knockdown, you have 4 left, so you can take Blindfight, Toughness, Steadfast Determinatioin, and Luck of Heroes.

You do not need to multiclass, you do not need the Expose Weakness cheese, you can just stick with Cavalier.

Hijacking a thread for another topic isnt very Paladin like.

You seem to be more of the roguish type

Anointed Cavalier of Torm (Human, Cavalier23,Rogue3,AnointedKnight4)
http://nwn2db.com/build/?265006 CL 27!

Just to make a start and get a concept.

Other ideas:

Cavalier of Aroveen (Strongheart Halfling, Cavalier26/Rogue4, CL 30)
Warrior Cavalier of Torm (Human, Cavalier23, Rogue3, Fighter3, CL 28)
Dragonslayer of Torm (Human, Cavalier21,Rogue3,DragonSlayer6,CL28, pick Improved Favore Enemy Dragons and Favored Power Attack)

Really a rogue of Torm. Lets see which DM will strip you of your paladin powers first.

The only paladin deity that allows multiclassing with a rogue is the halfling one, Arworeen.

[Hendrak]

Paladins of Torm are allowed lorewise to multiclass freely with one other class (in this case Rogue). Anointed Knight is as custom feature freely allowed to multiclass with Paladin (think i read that in radiant heart guild forum).

So theoretical you can do a Paladin/Assasin of Torm

[dzidek1983]

Arvoreen's Marchers (Arvoreen), Knights of the Shadowy Cloak (Baravar Cloakshadow), and Order of the Golden Lion (Torm) all allow paladins to multiclass as rogues.

So you'd better be in one of those orders.
