Talk:Cavalier

Why is this page not here?
I saw the delete log said the previous article was not "Forgotten Realms specific." I would like to be able to see/edit the original Cavalier article to determine if it can be edited to *be* FR specific. Prior to the Avatar trilogy, the Cavalier class was very much part of the Realms, and I believe it deserves a presence and some mention on this wiki.

 * There wasn't actually anything to it, just a definition someone had ripped from Cavalry, not strictly the D&D version. This was the text of the deleted article: "The traditional image of the cavalryman is of a reckless, hard-drinking, hard-swearing, womanising, moustachioed, swashbuckler. Cavalier, are soldiers or warriors who fight mounted on horseback. A man fighting from horseback also had the advantages of greater height, speed, and inertial mass over an opponent on foot. Another element of horse mounted warfare is the psychological impact a mounted soldier can inflict on an opponent." We deleted it to make way for a genuine article about the D&D cavalier class. Which I would love to see, if you'd like to write it up? — BadCatMan (talk) 07:12, March 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hmm. ... I'm a little shaky on my Wiki formatting (the community wiki I normally use has an older version of the wiki code)... but given some time to look at some of the other class templates, and the absence of a few of the deadlines hanging over my head, I might just do exactly that. I agree, this is definitely something the FR wiki should have and that I'd love to see here. Fred Druidson (talk) 07:29, March 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * Great! Have a look at bushi (I made it), which covers a 1st-edition warrior class in detail (without being cluttered by later editions) and demonstrates the standard wiki codes we use here. For the most part, you can just copy and paste it and remove and replace the text, names, etc. to suit. If you have any questions, especially on code and referencing, just ask, either here, at your or another's Talk page, or on the Forums. — BadCatMan (talk) 08:22, March 29, 2017 (UTC)
