========
Cavalier
--------
Mounted charge AB increased from +4 to +6.
Unmounted charge AB increased from +1 to +2, and duration increased from 6 seconds to 12 seconds.
"Critical" damage on the charge has been increased from x1.5 to x2.
Improved critical, and the keen item property Will now contribute to the critical range. This means the charge damage can potentially be 18-20/x2.
The cavalier's warhorse will have 50 temporary hitpoints permanently applied to it upon being called to help prevent accidental PvE deaths.
Developer commentary: Since cavalier's release, its performance has been carefully monitored. While it's been successful in cattering to a particular playstyle, it's found to be largely underwhelming in its number output. While the first update to cavalier was to assist with clunkiness in how their abilities functioned while giving them something to use if unmounted, this third pass is to tune up their numbers to be more competitive, and to expand on their dismounted utility. Cavalier will remain under observation to see where it ends up with these adjustments, and will continue being adjusted as appropriate, whether that be scaling back these improvements, or looking to other flaws and means of improving the class.

ESF: Illusion Clone Changes:
* Keen Senses feat is removed from clone if caster has.
Loremaster Changes:
* Some of the Secret Knowledge of [School] feat names (and their descriptions) has changed to better represent what they do.
Note: Those feats do not grant bonuses to spells. (Only exception is Enchantment and Evocation. Enchantment only grants bonus to Dominate spell. Evocation removes backlash damage from hellball and greater ruin.)
For example:
Secret Knowledge of Divination (It is now renamed to Secret Knowlede of Scrying) only gives access to -scry command. It does not increases the duration of True Seeing.
Name changes:
Secret Knowledge of Abjuration -> Secret Knowledge of Warding
Secret Knowledge of Conjuration -> Secret Knowledge of Summoning
Secret Knowledge of Divination -> Secret Knowledge of Scrying
Secret Knowledge of Enchantment -> Secret Knowledge of Domination
Secret Knowledge of Transmutation -> Secret Knowledge of Ley Lines
