as i've come to agree (with the farb and pixie) that the medieval knight is more like a typical jediMUD paladin than he is a typical jediMUD warrior, i've moved this post off of the warrior thread and onto this thread.

further, it seems to me that the jediMUD warrior, along with his set of mostly low encumbrance skills, more closely identifies with a lightly armored infantry class, like the ubiquitous barbarian, than he does the typically heavily armored infantry unit (knight).

MEYER'S MEDIEVAL KNIGHT PRIMER

Lesson One: THE FULL SET OF ARMOR

(a) helmet - think: down lineman

(b) visor - protects the face
(c) beavoir - protects the royal orthodontia
(d) neck piece - keeps head attached to body
(e) gorget - remove for spontaneous shiatsu goodness
(f) breastplate - put coat-of-arms here
(g) backplate - put sponsor endorsements here
(h) tassets - protects royal arse
(i) pauldron - shoulder blade protection
(j) epauliere - shoulder cap protection
(k) rander - decapitation avoidance technology
(l) vambrace - upper/forearm protection
(m) rerebrace - elbow protection
(n) gauntlet - armored glove
(o) lance rest - for your lance, what else?
(p) cuisse - thigh protection
(q) espauliere/poleyn - knee protection
(r) jamb/greave - calf protection
(s) solleret - foot protection
(t) chain mail skirt - protects the royal cod piece
