Knight

From the gates arose a clatter as the embodiment of the kingdom's hopes and dreams charged across the lowered drawbridge...

A heavy armor wearing warrior, who fights for good. They serve a lord or king who they are completely loyal to.

Adventures: Knights adventure for pretty much the same reasons as good fighters do, but knights love the thrill of battle more than anything else.

Characteristics: A great warrior, master of weapons and armor, and thrill seeker.

Alignment: Lawful because they are the lawmakers of their country.

Religion: Knights choose from Kord, St. Cuthbert, Heroneious and other lawful good gods of war and justice.

Background: Varies as much as everyone elses.

Races: Humans and dwarves are most common, elves, half-elves, halflings, and gnomes are rare.

Other Classes: Knights do not worry about others as they are trained to take each moment and person as they come. The only true clashes are between knights and rogues when ideals clash...
