You could always beat our opponent's face in while my tyranno crushes his/her ribs and spine. Or maybe throw an opponent towards my tyranno and he can hit him with his tail, sending him flying into other opponents... kinda like baseball... yeah, we'll make a game out of it. :P<br/><br/>So... how many archetypes is a character allowed to have?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Just one archetype.  The Archetypes are essentially customization options, they replace some of your class abilities with others so that you can have what you want without a bunch of extras.  If you're going through them, I suggest just reading the description and decide if that sounds right for your character.  That's what I do, and I know most of the feats already  :P<br/><br/><em>Emissary (Archetype)<br/><br/>Cavaliers serve many roles on the battlefield, from bold leaders and shock troops to dashing knights and mounted juggernauts. Some cavaliers, however, focus more on speed and mobility than they do on the raw power of the mounted charge. On foot or in the saddle, the emissary is usually first to meet the enemy, with a pointed lance, a drawn sword, or terms for surrender.</em><br/><br/>Emissary gives you better speed, but you sacrifice heavy armour (screw you auto correct, I'm Canadian and armour has a u in it) and the Tactician ability.<br/><br/><br/>Tactician could actually be rather twisted too.  You give us both teamwork, I pick up some other specific combat feats, we surround something, and it becomes a fine red mist.<br/><br/>The main thing is, go with what you understand and what you think you'll enjoy, don't worry about making a perfect character.  It can be a lot of fun to figure out the best builds, but we're often talking about the difference between an olympic gold medalist and an olympic 4th place.  Yeah they may not get the gold, but they still run a hell of a lot faster than almost everyone.  Not taking a certain archetype isn't going to take your character from awesome to useless, especially with your stats.  If in doubt, the standard class is standard for a reason, it won't let you down.
