#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* a martial weapon and a shield or *(b)* two martial weapons
- *(a)* five javelins or *(b)* any simple melee weapon
- *(a)* a dungeoneer's pack or *(b)* an explorer's pack
- Leather armor and a rapier
### Elegant Poise
As a chevalier, you fight with grace and swagger. You can use Dexterity, instead of Strength, for the attack and damage rolls of all melee weapons that lack the heavy or special property.
Additionally, you can add your Charisma modifier to initiative rolls.
### Confidence
Confidence is your weapon of choice. Some features from this class grant you Confidence, which lasts for 1 minute or until you end it early (no action required). While you have Confidence, you gain the following benefits.
- When you hit with a melee weapon attack using Dexterity, you can add your confidence bonus to the roll.
- When you make a Dexterity or Charisma check, you can add your confidence bonus to the roll.
- Your walking speed increases by an amount of feet equal to 5 x your confidence bonus.
At 1st level, our confidence bonus is +1. It increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Confidence Bonus column of the Chevalier table.
All chevaliers can gain Confidence in the following ways.
***Outmaneuver.*** When a hostile creature attacks you and misses by 5 or more, you gain Confidence.
***Outperform.*** When you make an attack roll or ability check and your total rolled is 20 or higher, you gain Confidence.
### Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
#### Blind Fighting
You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.
#### Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
#### Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
#### Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
#### Superior Technique
You learn one maneuver of your choice from among those available to the Battle Master archetype. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice.)
You gain one superiority die, which is a d6 (this die is added to any superiority dice you have from another source). This die is used to fuel your maneuvers. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
A Charisma-based martial class that brings confidence to battle. Bring your courage and audacity to bear on the battlefield! Fight with swagger and poise! Adopt one of the six Chevalier Artes and become its paragon!
