what weapon group would a knight have?
Still working out gear, but he is going to have an armor score of over 34, a +5 shield and fullplate armor, I'm just figuring out if he should have a 'tower' sheild
;
[Neet fact, a real tower shield would be seen as a heavy sheild in D&D; meanwhile a a wall shield meats the primitives of a D&D tower sheild, most could stand on their own and were used as mobile cover for crossbowmen in seiges ;3
I say this in part because spartan shields are huge, but were also very usful at killing: slam it into the other guy's head, their dead. no if and or buts, just dead. Helmet? still dead. D&D tower sheilds can't be used to bash; the only real-world shields that you can't relay use to bash the other guy? wall shields :3]
But yes, I'm thinking either a no nonsense veteran (don't RP them much at all) or a kind of idealistic noble brat.
And yes, high focus one "ha ha! I'm invulnerable!" with the character :3
Btw; I'm asuming making him a mounted combat focused character would be a big mistake do to low ceilings?
(considered making a gnome/halfing fighter on warpony back since he would be able to go any were the others could, but given your early comment that seems to be wounding the spirit of the RP :3)
Addon: hmm, 2 point buy net gain, :3

1) Fighting with Tenser = bad. Theoretical arguing with Tenser = good?
2) Yes, the 5 will definitely go into STR, he will be able to carry 16 lbs, but then again, his mentor created the spell 'floating disc' for a reason.
Complete Greyhawk archetype -- powerful, but extremely weak.

Also, its weight to held weight ratio is 50% better then a bag of holding type I :3
Also, the knight is looking like he will have 37* AC[/FONT][FONT="] before Combat Expertise: 42* AC is good right? aside from 138 hp that is about all he will have going for him ^^;
[magic weapons? Nay! I'm a invincible wall! XD]
[*This is amusing he can use a sword, or other knightly one handed weapon, if not he will have to use an animated shield and only have 35 and 40 AC respectively >_<]
Also, would knights get to use normal gantlets as a thrown in weapon or is that just pushing my luck? :/
Addon: ack, just looked again, did not see that knights get three extra groups like palys ^^;
*feels stupid and gets to work on the PC*
Still, did not see normal gauntlets any were on that list :/
also, dos making a shield made out of mitheral make it's ACP go down by, up to, 3 or is that body armor only?

My only comment thus far is for Zerith. Defense at the expense of offense is usually a losing proposition. Monsters might take one whack at you during round 1, then realize you aren't really a threat, merely a red herring, and move on to more palatable mage and cleric fare. I know the knight has some means of controlling the battlefield and focusing aggro on himself, but it has its limits. Make sure you have the ability to pull out the damage when its needed.
And that is why I introduced myself as a newbie 
hmm, he's already got prity good AC from what I can tell (I managed to bump it up to38 36, changing from +5 full plate to +4 mitheral full plate and tweaking his Dex up made his armor go up and the cost of his armor go down a lil bit ; )
[Edit: just looked and saw that shield block adds +1/2/3 shield AC towards just one foe instead of just adding it to shield AC >_<]
Anways, I was planing on using theses feats
Combat Expertise
Combat Reflexes
Stand Still
Heavy Shield Specialization
[adds +1 to the AC of heavy shields]
Active Shield Defense
[make attacks of opportunity without penalty while fighting defensively]
[FONT="]Steadfast Determination[/FONT][FONT="]
[can use CON modifier on Will saves. Dos not automatically fail Fortitude saves on a natural 1]
(B)Mounted Combat
[given I don't think a warhorse can fit I kinda wish I could trade this out, but then again, I would love being able to use a lance one handed! >_<]
(B)Great Fortitude
(B)Endurance[/FONT]
do you think stand still would be enough to keep things from runing past, if they tried to or should I drop Combat Expertize and active shield defense and get him power attack and some kind of weapon focus?
[if so, dos dos weapon focus, and such feats, work on only one weapon still or on entire groups?]

My two cents:
Power Attack is not a good option with a single handed weapon. I would replaced Endurance (unless there is a reason you want that one), and Combat Reflexes (which works much better with a reach weapon in my experience...you probably won't get that many chances of multiple AoOs each round without one). And Combat Expertise...well, it can be good, but my experience is when you start transferring attack bonus to AC, you start missing everything you attack. And thus just using Total Defense may prove a better idea, and it doesn't require a feat.
