Druid 5: wild shape 1/day, Natural Spell10+ DruidVery simple in concept, this will make a good "Nature's Paladin," a knight from faerie, or just a rustic knight who goes about performing deeds of chivalry. The first fighter level gives early proficiency in all armors and weapons.  The fighter levels also give +16 BAB at 20th level.Key to the concept is the acquisition of Dragon Plate (3,300 gp) which works like masterwork full-plate (but costs double), and which can be worn without penalty by a druid. Until you can afford this you will either use leather or hide armor, or you will foreswear your druid spells and wear normal armor.Once you have Dragon Plate you will want to enchant it with the wild enchantment (+3 value) allowing it to benefit the green knight even while wild-shaped.Druid level first, because of improved skill points.[edit]Dragonhide Fullplate requires the hide of a Gargantuan Dragon.  That's a CR 22 encounter!  Luckily, the Arms and Equipment Guide comes to our aid with other weapon materials.  One could slay a gargantuan Insect or Arachnid to make chitin armor (+10,000 gp, same stats but half normal weight), elven darkleaf (+3,000 gp, +1 Dex, AC penalty reduced by 2, ASF reduced by 5%), or bronzewood (+9,000 gp, -10% weight).  Elven Darkleaf requires a DC 25 alchemy check to manufacture, but seems the best choice.[/edit]----The Green Rider (half-elf or human)Dex=101.
