Character Traits:
Cavaliers are known for their fearlessness and their sense of honor.   A cavalier will not: attack an unarmed foe, engage in missile combat with a foe that is not equipped with a missile weapon, break their word, compromise their honor to spare their own life, sneak attack an opponent, or in any other way act dishonorable.  To do so causes the cavalier’s beliefs to collapse, and his saving throw bonuses and ability to inspire others is gone.  This will also happen if a cavalier changes to a non-lawful alignment.  Until the cavalier atones, the character may not advance in level as a cavalier.
Cavaliers tend to multi-class as Fighters and Aristocrats.
