Hey everyone.
Starting a new campaign next week with a couple of my buddies and I've been leaning towards a Cavalier. The character in my mind is a typical Knight, so I don't really want to do a small race which I know will be suggested - strictly Human.
I'm pretty new to character building in Pathfinder. I've only ever played in a random 6th level campaign for 2 months. Since I'm pretty new, I wanted to look for a guide of sorts online but there is literally not a single guide (that is completed).
So far what I have is this:
Human Cavalier Lv1 - Haven't chosen an Order yet, probably Sword or Dragon (need help with that decision too).
Stats: Randomly rolled 4d6, take out lowest.
Str: 18 (20 from racial bonus)
Dex: 14
Con: 15
Int: 12
Wis: 4 (randomly rolling for our stats.. got hit hard on this one)
Cha: 11
Feats: I went with Mounted Combat and Ride By Attack to eventually lead up to Spirited Charge, not exactly sure though since I think I probably need Power Attack.
Traits: I took Heirloom Weapon for the Masterwork Lance and then Rich Parents for the extra 500GP to go towards armour. They both nicely fit the background I have as well.
Starting Equipment: 675GP
Half-plate: 600GP
Lance: 10GP
Longsword: 15GP
Heavy Steel Shield: 20GP
Cavalier's Kit: 23GP
Thoughts? I don't really know what I'm doing as you can probably tell. Not bad for level 1?
