So I've just started playing in a new campaign called the Dungeon Amomos, which is exactly what it sounds like: an enormous dungeon crawl (I should probably note that it is a 'side-campaign', for times when not everyone can make it to the session, so the lack of story is not terribly concerning.)
Anyhows, I'm playing a Gnome Cavalier, level four:
STR 15
DEX 14
CON 12
INT 14
WIS 14
CHA 12
Gnome (w/Acadamecian and Gift of Tongues alternate racial traits) Cavalier (Order of the Shield, no archetype) level 4
FEATS: Mounted Combat, Ride-by Attack; TACTICIAN FEAT: Shield Wall
SKILLS: Bluff +7, Climb +6*, Diplomacy +6, Handle Animal +5, Heal +9, Intimidate +6, Kno. (Engineering) +6, Perception +8, Ride +8, Stealth +7*, Swim +5*. *Before -5 ACP
AC 19 (Hide Armor, Heavy Wooden Shield)
MOUNT:WOLF (Earl) abil. 14/16/15/3/11/6.
My question is this: do you have advice for such a semi-conventional character--sure I'm riding people down, but, more importantly, Im a cavalier in a dungeon, plus I have to fill roles as meat shield, damager, healer, and face all in one. Im sure that there's plenty of generic cavalier advice floating around, but I'm a bit stumped as how to fill so many roles, as well as how to survive in a dungeon, where Reflex saving throws and not setting off traps are so key. I'm not
looking for corrections to what I've done so far, only ways to maximize future awesomeness (although I might be able to "retrain" some feats, but I think those choices are pretty solid. )
Help me Playgrounders, you're my only hope.
