__NOTOC__
__NOTOC__
This specialisation of Knighthood concentrates on polearms. Polearms are the favoured weapon of the [[tae'dae]] and therefore they can use them better than any other race. The higher the skill, the more deadly and varied the effects.
NOTE: The Cavalier specialisation can only be taken after completing the [[Heart of Shallah]] quest and possessing a mount of your own; thus, it is considered a restricted skillset.

WEAPONSTYLE <CUTTING<nowiki>|</nowiki>BLUNT>
|description = As a Cavalier, your skill with polearms is such that you now attack even faster. Additionally, as you train in the Cavalier skill, you will learn to apply modifiers to your strikes, which increase the effectiveness of your attacks even further.

Additionally, strikes with polearms are able to deal either cutting or blunt damage, depending on your weaponstyle.

If the bond is lost, these abilities will be forgotten in the trauma.
