[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7628375, member: 58172"] I will double check the 3e Knight class. It seems fine for the Warlord ‘Knight’ to pick up some aspects − especially if a Fighting Style. Likewise the 4.5e Essentials Knight. Purple Dragon Knight, and the Paladin ‘White Knight’, ‘Black Knight’, and Green Knight, are specific and require the modifier, in the same way that ‘oriental amethyst’ isnt really an amethyst. But the Warlord is really the true Knight, and can do everything the reallife archetypal knight can do, including military tactics and morale inspiration. I view the modern police officer as a kind of knight. So, yeah, knight tends associate ‘legitimate’ authority, but this can potentially be democratic, for example. It makes sense to associate the D&D class with access to government officials. Who else could pay for all of this armor and food for an army? Regarding illegitimacy, the medieval knight has plenty of examples of an independent ‘knight errant’, who seeks to make their own reputation and might be unaffiliated with any particular government. Plus there are stories about knights that go rogue or become villainous. The Warlord class actually comprises all of these knightly concepts. [/QUOTE]
