You can get 18/18 with a STF...you have to convert two skill points into attributes. That's what you should be doing on your main character as well when you get to level 30 (because you most likely will retire as soon as you hit level 31).

Also my religious quote in my signature is better than yours.

Oh okay, thanks.

My quote is from a looong time ago, didn't even notice it

^{(but it's still better than yours, hah)}

Something annoying I noticed is that I can't get 18/18 with my STF

So right now I'm at 17/18 to meet the requirements for a courser. I'm probably just gonna grind a new character to the right level.

Thank you for the input guys!

Cheers

Thank you guys very much!

I consider(ed) myself a pretty okay horseman, used to roll with a MnG cavalry clan and I did lots of horse-combat in PW-mod and native. I don't think the maneuvring won't be a big problem.
Right now I got a rouncey just because I wanted to start right away, but I will get myself a courser soon.

I got some funds from my old characters so I think I'll get the lance (using the great lance atm).
So concerning swords I should stick to the Arabian swords, the elite scimitar and the Italian sword? (I even got an Italian from an old shielder

)

What are your preferred styles of armor and shield? Talking about weight etc.

I think I will just get a set like this : Courser, light armor, lance, sword, shield and Eastern Warhorse, heavy armor, sword, shield.
Should I just not take a lance at all with a heavier charger set? Alternatives?

Thanks again!

Cheers

PS : I'm going for an eastern theme, the Chinese armors etc (They're Chinese right?)

Hi,

I recently picked up c-rpg again and I'm looking for some advice regarding cavalry.

Which horses are considered the best? (I was thinking Courser for field battles, Eastern Warhorse for tighter spots).
Which lances are considered the best overall? Which 1-handed swords are most practical to fight with from horseback but still not bad on foot?

If you got any tips or tricks concerning cavalry, please feel free to share them
