The bestiary description of the Animal creature type states that they are “Proficient with no armor unless trained for war”. How is this defined?
(James Jacobs 11/25/09) War trained is actually detailed in the description of the Handle Animal skill. Of course, there it’s called “Combat Training.” It’s one of the “general purpose” trainings you can give an animal. Horses in particular gain a special benefit once they’re combat trained-their hooves are from that point treated as primary weapons, not secondary ones. In any case, once the Cavalier goes to print, the language in the class about “war trained” will be cleaned up.
