Anticavalier
The anticavalier is a counterpart of the antipaladin, however much less extreme in nature. While the antipaladin committed to the forces of evil, the anticavalier lost her valor and dedication to her duty. They are grim-faced loner overwhelmed with bitterness and driven by anger and resentment. They have no need of allies, beside their trusty mount perhaps, and instead strike on their own. While motivation might be lacking, their combat skills are carefully honed. Perhaps the only thing that can raise an anticavalier’s resolve is facing an heroic foes, a reminder of what they once were and what they lost.
Class: CavalierPathfinder
Level: 1st, 5th, 9th, 14th, 17th
Replaces: Alignment, Order's Edict, Challenge, Tactician, Greater Tactician, Master Tactician
Benefit: An anticavalier gain the following class features:
Alignment and Edict (Ex): An anticavalier's bitterness and rancor have long subdued any obligation of duty she might have. An anticavalier must be evil-aligned, if her alignment changes she cannot take additional levels of cavalier until her alignment changes back to evil, or if she willingly loses this archetype. Additionally an anticavalier does not need to follow the edict of her order. Instead she treats any altruistically committed good acts as violation of her edict. This does not mean that an anticavalier cannot take actions someone else might qualify as good, only that such actions must always be in service of her own selfish interest.
Bitter Challenge (Ex): An anticavalier's bravery is extinguished, and only embers of her valor remain which surges when facing a virtuous foe. The anticavalier only adds half of her level against the target of her challenge, but does not take the AC penalty against other opponents.
This ability alters challenge.
Cruel Charge (Ex): When an anticavalier take a charge action or run action, she (and any mount she is riding) may ignore difficult terrain and other impediments which would normally hampers her charge. The cavalier takes 1 point of nonlethal damage for each square of difficult terrain or other impediment she ignores. If the cavalier is riding a mount, this damage is dealt to her mount instead. The cavalier suffers any consequences from the impediment as normal, such as damage or spell effect.
This ability replaces tactician.
Dark Omen (Ex): At 9th level, the target of the anticavalier's challenge takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws and loses any immunity to fear they might have.
This ability replaces greater tactician.
Grim Champion (Ex): At 17th level the anticavalier adds her full cavalier level to damage rolls against her challenge target instead of half.
This ability replaces master tactician.
Alternate Anticavalier
A variant anticavalier archetype made to be as compatible as possible simply uses "Alignment and Edict" section of this archetype, leaving other class feature untouched.
