Classes/Knight

From AeonRO

Sword-slinging fighters of the finest caliber, knights generally hail from orders such as the Pronteran Chivalry, where they fight both professionally and honorably. The stereotypical Knight is chivalrous, dedicated, and a formidable opponent in a duel. Of course, many Knights exist whom have no affiliation to an order or are merely mercenaries for hire; these knights lack the adherence to the code of chivalry and thus lack its dedication, but in return they have greater freedom in their own ideals and choice of battles.

Sword-slinging fighters of the finest caliber, knights are a class that defines one who is proficient with a blade in melee combat. Many can find themselves within the ranks of the Midgard Milita, or the Schwarzwald Military. The stereotypical Knight is chivalrous, dedicated, and a formidable opponent in a duel. Of course, many Knights exist whom have no affiliation to an order or are merely mercenaries for hire; these knights lack the adherence to the code of chivalry and thus lack its dedication, but in return they have greater freedom in their own ideals and choice of battles.

Pros: Armored and vigilant, with reflexes that allow for skilled parries and blocks despite being weighed down. Masters of melee combat, able to hit hard and relentlessly with even large weapons such as two-handed swords or spears. It's not unheard for them to have an understanding of a plethora of weaponry however. Usually true 'mastery' is dedicated to one in particular.

Cons: Movement is still somewhat slow with their armor, as their agility lies in their ability to deflect and attack, not actual fleet of foot. They also have little to no defense against magic. They also suffer a distinct disadvantage against ranged attacks.
