[QUOTE="epithet, post: 6677544, member: 6796566"] A classic knight would a fighter (champion) with a noble (knight) background. A fighter (battlemaster) would also work. Knights were mounted and heavily armored warriors with staff. Some (battlemaster build) were effective and inspiring battlefield commanders, but it was hardly a defining characteristic. A high-fantasy knight would be a paladin with the noble (knight) background. If the character has a different background, for example an outlaw that was pardoned and knighted by a king for saving the princess from the BBEG, then he'll want to be sure he learns to ride a horse and hire a couple of retainers. Even if he can't wear any armor with proficiency, he'll want to pick up a shiny breastplate to wear in parades and such. In combat, studded leather and a surcoat should be adequate, but the armor should be high quality, preferably with some "bling" so as to properly convey your elevated status. There's really no need for a knight class, or subclass. [/QUOTE]
