Knight

This is one of the lineages, or classes, available in The Black Death.

Description
You grew up always in awe of the knights of the realm. As soon you where old enough you left home to the big city to live with your uncle in the Royal Palace. You acted as his squire, in return he taught you the ways of the sword and shield. By his side you saw many battles. One day you and your uncle were jumped on the road, you slew the attackers but your uncle was mortaly wounded. With his last breath he knighted you.

Knight class skill "Inspect Player" allows the knight to inspect a player for his "real" class (Outlaw class can change his "class" with a skill to fool unaware players) and bounty.

Skills
The Knight can learn these skills, and has more base health, and does more damage with weapons. Best for fighting.
 * Wooden Lance (1)
 * Iron Lance (3)
 * Kite Shield (3)
 * Heavy Tabard Armour (4)
 * Heavy Knight Helm (2)

Trivia

 * Knight class was added in patch v0.09
 * Currently the lances are bugged and do no damage/cannot strike the enemy (as of 0.12)
 * The knight cannot make iron plates or leather as of 0.12 and thus cannot craft the claymore, heavy tabard armour or heavy knight helm, making only the kite shield the only skill they can learn and craft that has effect or does not require other classes.
