PHB2 Errata and the knight class

[awayfarer]

Does anyone know if theres any official PHB2 errata out? I noticed that the knight is written as having a poor fortitude save and thought that was peculiar for a melee oriented class. Was that intended or was it a mistake?

Intended and mentioned several times as such. Someone brought it up in a preview thread and I believe mearls even specifically appeared to comment.

That was intended as a way of further differentiating the Knight from the Fighter. A Knight will likely have a decent Constitution, which boosts his Fortitude saves, and the good Will save makes him less susceptible to attacks that would otherwise affect him too easily.

They can get Great Fortitude as a bonus feat around level 5, I believe.

The Knights are fine as written.

This made me think I should add: I'm not complaining about the class in any way, shape, or form. I just found it sort of odd that they'd be built in that way when every other tank class is poor will/good fort.

I feel like it's the equivalent of driving up to a stoplight and finding that someone has switched red and green.

The Knight is fine, I believe too, but I still think they deserve a good Fortitude and Will save. I don't think the class would be unbalancing with both of them. It'd actually equal to the other classes like Paladin and Ranger if it had that

Except, the Paladin only has good Fortitude saves, with poor Reflex and Will.

Ah yes, the clumsy and dumb paladin. Easily trapped and easily duped

jh

As it should be.
