But what about the good, old-fashioned Knight in Shining Armour concept?I don't want to be a ninja.  I don't want to be encouraged to wear leather, or--God forbid--Hide armour.  I want to look like the pop-culture concept of the classic Knight in Armour, and I want that concept to be terrifically effective.  But it seems like all the new feats and class features are built expressly around wearing light armour.  How many of the classes in the PHB II have some sort of extra bonus when they wear light armour?  And there's only one class--one!--that gets to start out with plate armour proficiency.  And the builds I am beginning to see for the Avenger class on other boards are filled with "Ha, ha!  The Avenger has a better AC than any other class!  Suck it, plate armour wearers!"I hope the future holds something awesome for those (apparently few!) of us who like heavily-armoured classes...</blockquote>
