They both get many of the same combat skills, while the Glitter Boy can also potentially have the same amount of psionics as the Cyber-Knight, minus the psi-sword. So whatever few advantages the Cyber-Knight has over the Glitter Boy are VASTLY inferior to the net gain one has from having a suit of Glitter Boy armor.  The Fighter and Rogue are balanced. The Cyber-Knight and the Glitter Boy AREN'T. No If's, And's, or But's about it. Hell, even if the only barometer were combat ability, the Rogue still has a chance against a straight up Fighter. If a 1st-level Rogue wins Init against a 1st-level Fighter and hits, then he could probably kill the Fighter with his Sneak Attack. Likewise, a 15th-level Rogue would mop the floor with a 1st-level Fighter.  You can't say the same for the Cyber-Knight and the Glitter Boy. A 1st-level Cyber-Knight would get MASSACRED by a 1st-level Glitter Boy. And chances are, a 15th-level Cyber-Knight would suffer the same fate.</blockquote>
