| | Look into the Dragonlance campain setting, its one from 2nd edition although I think there's a 3rd ed floating around on the internet. They have 2 seperate knight base classes you can work off of. | |

| Figure or class?
For class, if you can wait, next month will bring us a new PHB II with a new Knight class.
As for figures, I like the Stalwart Paladin, as he matches fairly well with the Mounted Paladin. | |

It is difficult to help you find one to your liking when we don't know what you like.
You don't need a special class to play a knight:
Knight = fighter + roleplay | |

Paladin works well too.
As someone else said, looking at the Dragonlance books will find you prestige classes for the Knights of Solamnia, Tahakasis, and Neraka. | |

| | Something to remember... if starting at first level, you should actually be making up a squire with hopes of becomeing a knight. Any of the core classes can be knighted, but I would stick with the fighter based classes. | |

| IIRC, there was a base class, Cavalier, in the 1st edition. or maybve it was in the unearth arcana.
Anyhow, for 3rd edition, one can use either the fighter or the paladin. IMHO a fighter is a better option as you can develop your own type of knight, and can set your code of conduct as you see it. Also, as mentioned above, Complete Warrior have several knight-oriented prestige classes (Cavalier,Knight of the Chalice, Knight Protector, and Purple Dragon Knight). | |

| | I had a player want to use the Samurai base class from Complete Warrior. I told him not to use the asian weapon names in the book, but rather their standard equivilent, and that people would refer to him as an "honorable knight". My CS has an Oriental based continent, but no one has gone there yet. THERE is where they're called samurai. | |

It was in the first Unearthed Arcana. It was the class that introduced increasing ability scores. Also, it was a tad on the powerful side as I recall.

| Hey Sean. We should get together one day and go over what exactly you want.
The Cavalier from the 1st Edition Unearthed Arcana was a great class and with a few tweaks could probably be used.
Dragonlance has the Knights of Solamnia we could use a basis to make a class.
Or design one from scratch.
As long as the class is balanced to the other classes we should really have no problems.

It also had negative levels if you didn't start at a high enough social standing. If I recall you also had the potential for a 1st level character with a fully barded warhorse full plate shield lance sword and lots o cash. It was a little much. | |
