#cavalryman
Ok i think all of the taunt voice lines for cavalryman are funny, but spys ’thats what you get for being a one trick pony’ makes me laugh bc it sounds like he’s talking to the horse.
I feel like Spy is convinced that Cavalryman and his horse are the same being...
Probably thinks he's a centaur or some shit like that lmao

CHARGE!
In This Scene
As they got into their teenage years, André Caron and Chris Carnovo drifted apart a bit. Chris continued to be involved in privateering but was also involved in theatre in his young adulthood, specifically opera and ballet. André, meanwhile, pursued a career in the cavalry.
André joined a regiment of Prince Henri “the Charming’s” household, the Black Hussars. The regiment was named after its black uniforms and black horses, and for its dark reputation of hunting dangerous criminals and outlaws. André quickly rose through the ranks and became its captain. At one point, the regiment had a young stallion that refused to be tamed. André decided to take him for a ride to wear him out, but the horse bolted, careening down the street and causing a general ruckus. Soon, however, André realized what was going on—the horse had spotted an apple cart and wanted treats. André managed to get the horse under control and took it back to the garrison, sternly warning him never to do that again. However, the next morning the horse found André with a bag of apples, and from then on the horse refused to be ridden by anyone but André.
The horse was named Shadow, and he would remain André’s loyal steed until the young man’s disappearance just before the Reign of Terror, when a new captain claimed the horse for himself: the infamous Tristan L’Hermite, the Black Knight.
Behind the Scenes
This was another picture that sat around for months before I decided what to do with it—long enough that I forgot how I managed to draw the horse, Shadow! I’ve really wanted to learn how to draw horses for a while, and so I decided to draw André on his horse, who plays a key role in Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom.
I’m pretty sure that I initially traced a painting I found on Pinterest of a Napoleonic cavalryman, taking it down to its foundational shapes. Then, I used that initial construction-shape tracing as my drawing reference for Shadow. So I actually did manage to draw a horse all by myself!
But why do horses have so many joints…?

I'm so confused by when this is happening, lol. Like, theoretically this is before the first Quincy invasion a thousand years ago? But these guys are dressed like early twentieth century western soldiers, and they are "military police", which really only came into being with modern-sized armies, and definitely didn't exist in like, the Holy Roman Empire.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HEAVY MONGOL CAVALRY IN BATTLEFIELD STRATEGY.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a Mongol heavy cavalryman, Liegnitz (present day Legnica, Poland), c. 1241, the Mongol Empire. Artwork by the late, great Angus McBride.
OVERVIEW: "While a standard Mongol army did field a large number of horse archers, entire battles couldn’t be won by just one tactical arm of the force. In fact, almost equally (if not more) crucial was the Heavy Cavalry that was tailored to counter-attacking maneuvers. These heavy horsemen were mostly armored in Asiatic lamellar style where scales of metal (or hardened leather) were sewn together through tiny holes.
PART II: Sometimes entire coats were reinforced with metallic pieces – and they were possibly worn beneath dedicated armor systems for added protection, thus alluding to super-heavy cavalry units. Similarly, helmets were crafted from larger iron pieces, but they characteristically featured extended neck guards made of metallic bits. And as for arms, most of these heavy horsemen used lances, possibly both in couched and overhead positions."

In other news, I took my old-as-balls ambidextrous gunslinger OC I made in like 2003 or something and tweaked him to fit d&d. Gunslinger fighter subclass a-la Matt Mercer would be ideal but I could definitely make him work as a battle master. The important things are ‘archery’ fighting style, two-weapon fighting, guns and sabres.
Anyhow now I’ve got a backup PC for any of my ongoing games, provided the respective DMs are cool with guns. Revolvers in d&d are a bit OP (fuckin 2d8 damage? on a FIGHTER? with multiple attacks and ACTION SURGES? Sweet Jesus.) when everyone else has like, swords, but hopefully I can talk them into letting me use flintlock pistol stats just with 6 shots before reload. :p

I just know that cavalryman Zevlor has insane thigh muscles and incredible hip and core control, and I would like a full demonstration of those abilities
