He wears Lamellar Armor, has a heavy wooden shield, scimitar, and Lance.

He rides a heavy warhorse clad in studded leather barding named Fakhir.

He has a mule to bear his usual gear.

What do you think? I am considering getting Storm Trooper, grabbing up some Favorite Enemy and then going Cavalier

Most of it looks good, and I like the mounted combat ideas. How do you have four feats at level two though? Is it a houserule? A warrior would normally only have one, a human warrior would have two, and a human fighter would have three.

Also, how are you getting uncanny dodge? Other than that, it looks good and you have some pretty nice stats.

I think you're confusing the Warrior seen in the DMG, and the Warrior seen in Unearthed Arcana. The SRD should have information about these generic classes.

Human Fighter would have 4:

1st level feat that everyone gets
1st level fighter feat
1st level human bonus feat
2nd level fighter feat

Pretty neat stuff. Lancers are badass, Tartars are badass. I always wanted to make a Tartar Horse Archer, but a good opportunity never really came.

What's Storm Trooper? Do you mean Shock Trooper? Good thing to get...gotta love Heedless Charge.

Does anyone get Calvary Charger?

Yes I meant Shock trooper... and yes its the Warrior Class from Unearthed Arcana.

Anyone want to advise me on say the next 5 lvls or so? I'm totally lost after this point.

I recommend maxing ride, since you can negate an attack made at your mount 1/round. I also recommend picking up leadership so you can get a mount that won't be shut down so easily (griffons with class levels? ys plz!).

Power attack is definitely recommended, since you'll be getting 6:1 (at least!) returns on a charge.

I'd say do Warrior until 8, then onto Cavalier.

between levels 3 and 8, you'll have 5 more feats to gain (3rd, 4th bonus, 6th, 6th bonus, 8th bonus). Improved Bull Rush is also required for Shock Trooper; that combo takes another 2 feats, leaving you with 3 more. If you pick up Combat Expertise and Improved Trip, you can grab Knockdown, which allows a trip attempt when you successfully deal 10 or more damage in melee. So with this, you could ride-by attack, knock down your enemy, ride away, turn around, repeat. They shouldn't be able to take many actions, if you're successful in your trip attempts.

Where's knockdown from?
