[edit] Mounted Knight
The mounted knight is the unit that breaks the enemy lines in combat.
[edit] Making a Mounted Knight
The Mounted knight has a high AC, Attack, and Damage output as long as it is mounted. In buildings and areas with low ceilings, movement may be difficult or not allowed while mounted. If the mount dies, a new mount must be trained and the Knight is vulnerable and weak until a new mount is suitably trained.
Abilities: Strength, Dexterity, Charisma
Races: Humans are the most likely to take a mount into combat.
Alignment: Any lawful. It takes a lot of discipline and adherence to a set routine of instructions to properly train a mount.
Starting Gold: 6d4×10 gp (140gp)
Starting Age: As fighter
