The knight is one of the most highly trained combatants ever to enter the field of battle. Expert with a variety of weapons and particularly effective when astride his trusty charger, when under pressure he draws extra strength from his chivalric vows. He is perhaps the best protected of all character classes, typically wearing full plate armour but proficient with a variety of extra-heavy armours for special purposes. A knight’s noble birth often provides him with a far superior array of equipment than most characters have access to.
