Designer's Notes:
1) Cavalry originally paid 150 points for his Characteristics. He actually should pay 139. I'm not sure where all the mistakes were made, although a lot of the problem seems to lay in incorrect application of the Disadvantages, or failure to apply them in the first place. As a side note, Calvary was listed with an 8 INT, which is a misprint, the errata sheet shows this to be an 18 INT.
2) Made Cavalry's saber into a Multipower. Note that slot two originally had a +1 Increased STUN Modifier. This was eliminated.
3) I'm not sure if Cavalry's Mind Link is focused or not. The original didn't say.
4) Cavalry originally paid 61 points for his horse, which is the price of the horse (304 points) divided by 5. As the horse is a Follower, he only has to pay Base Cost/5, which in this case is 40 points (Base 200/5 = 40).
5) Cavalry's PS is an 11-, and should only cost 2 points, not 3.
6) Fixed the point values for all Disadvantages. I also feel that like Bastion, his Reputation should be a Perk and not a Disadvantage. No, they didn't list the Rivalry.
7) The original version of Cavalry cost 428 points. He now costs 364, a 64-point decrease. A lot of the savings comes from his fixed Characteristics cost, as well as placing his Saber into a Multipower.
8) Assessment: Not much to say, really. Cavalry isn't all that bad of a concept, although I think his origin is a tad absurd (I doubt anyone is going to build a government research lab in an old castle), but that's easily adjusted. I do question his 8 STR, anyone who makes armor and swords is gong to be doing a lot of hammer swinging, and should have a 10 STR at least. At 372, Cavalry needs to drop 22 points to be a starting superhero, which seems an easy task—simply reduce his DEX and drop that Endurance Reserve.
