I read the kits thing on this site, and there was some speculation on wether cavaliers would be incoporated, due to a lack of horses.
I was thinking that a cavalier could get, like, journeys from one map to another cut down in time. (like 4hrs instead of 8hrs)

...and tough **** for the rest of the party, right?

That's hardly what I would call heroic!

So he can fight every enemy,
so there won't be anyone left when the rest of your party arives..?! (No enemies nor your cavalier ;)

Here's what the Cavalier kit will include in BG2

Cavalier
This class represents the most common picture of the knight: the gentleman warrior who epitomizes honor, courage, and loyalty. He is specialized in battling 'classical' evil monsters such as demons and dragons.

Advantages:
Bonus +3 to hit and +3 damage against all demonic and draconic creatures.
May cast Remove Fear 1 time per day per level.
Immune to fear and morale failure.
Immune to poison.
20% resistance to fire.
20% resistance to acid.

Disadvantages:
May not use missile weapons.

I hope that helps.

Cheers.

Voltric, where did you get the info on how the cavalier kit would be played in BGII? Sorcerers.net has kit descriptions, but they come from the books and may not play out just so in BGII. If there's a place I can look up the pros and cons of each kit as it will appear in BGII, I'd really like to see that.

I'd love to say I have a inside source but for real all the BG2 kit info can be found here. http://www.bgchronicles.com/content/bg2/classes/kits.shtml

This gives the exact 'in game' pros & cons for all the kits and the new classes. Enjoy!
