Weekly Wonders - Archetypes of War Volume III - The Cavalry

Here We Come to Save the Day!

 

                There is battle, and then there is warfare. Many adventurers are familiar with wading into combat against monsters and small groups of enemies, but this is nothing next to the glory and chaos and carnage that is true war. More than simply a change in scale, the difference between war and other combat can be profound. In a war, the characters are part of something larger than themselves, contributing to the efforts of their armies, or perhaps leading those armies themselves. The priorities of a soldier are different from those of an adventurer, and often the challenges that they face are, as well. While many characters can translate their talents as adventurers to the battlefield, one who specifically focuses on warfare and battlefield tactics will have the edge on others when it comes to true war. Each installment of Weekly Wonders: Archetypes of War provides six new war-themed archetypes for a variety of classes.

                For this book, we focus on cavalry, mounted soldiers whose power and speed make them versatile and effective units in any military battle. Whether they are lightly-armored and trained for speed and maneuverability, harrying opposing forces on their flanks and then retreating before they can retaliate, or whether they use the raw power and momentum of their charging steeds to deliver devastating routs against enemies who are trampled underfoot, this book provides archetypes that highlight the roles of cavalry in warfare. This book contains the following archetypes.

 

  • The mounted harrier, a cavalier archetype that focuses on crushing foes underhoof with devastating charges.
  • The wild knight, a druid archetype whose animal companion serves as a fearsome mount, carrying her into battle with incredible ferocity.
  • The spirit rider, a shaman archetype that trades in a traditional familiar for a more powerful animal companion, which serves as a mount and carries its rider through the spirit realm, as well as gaining special boons based on her spirit.
  • The pale rider, a spiritualist archetype that imitates the grim reaper, riding a phantom steed and delivering a frightful gaze to horrify her foes.
  • The otherworld cavalry, a summoner archetype whose eidolon not only serves as a powerful mount, but can carry him and other riders across the planes.
  • A bonus archetype for the warlord, from Path of War by Dreamscarred Press, the daring rider applies the same tactical gambits as other warlords to a mounted style of combat.

 

                Whether you're about to embark on a campaign of military exploits (such as the official Paizo adventure path dealing with invading forces), or you just want to play a more military character, this book has lots of tantalizing options to offer. Even GMs can get in on the fun, as several of the archetypes here are perfect for militarily-inclined NPCs as well, and can make for exciting and memorable encounters.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
