[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6717922, member: 996"] There's not much for mounted combat but aside from that, IIRC, the Cavalier seemed like it was just a fighter who was better with traditional knightly weapons and paid for that by not being allowed to use other weapons. Kinda like the OA classes that were each like some corresponding class but slightly better. Oh, and the Cavalier could get special armor that absorbed damage. But, sure: Noble background, Fighter, Champion archetype, Heavy Armor Mastery as soon as you can take a feat, and properly kitted out should be pretty close. Should be doable in not much more than 4 levels (depending on how successful you are getting the cash for the best heavy armor & a warhorse). You could define Bonds to represent your ideals of Chivalry, and maybe pick up a little inspiration when you disdained using a crossbow even when it would have been the best course of action or the like. What parallel universe did that happen in? Or "don't want it, WotC must deny it to everyone," yes. There's folk who just want to be able to play the character they want at the moment or run the campaign they have in mind, in the current edition of their favorite game, then there's folk who feel they know what that game is 'really' supposed to be, feel proprietary about it, and they need those beliefs validated.
