Is this their chainmail stats? Even in 1st edition I remember them being bulkier.
Historically, most knights were actually bad at their jobs and spent most of their time drunk and beating up the unarmed. Any given military is full up enough with the dregs of society that couldn't manage to do anything except kill and be killed that some dregs will eventually be promoted for various political reasons. It doesn't help that knighthood is not a meritocratic position.
Now, you can disregard the historical precedent. But for that you'd have to actually give us a setting and game you fricking nogame shitposter.
Depends on the period. The closer you got to the Renaissance, the more knights became glorified bureaucrats wearing granddad's plates, though that also coincided with them mellowing out.
The Knights of Malta actually co-existed with the earliest iterations of the New England Minutemen and were still clad in full plate, brandishing lances on horseback.
Knight of Malta armor was mostly ceremonial at that point, most of their fighting would be piracy, and largely boat based.
The last time there was any large scale deployment of Knights of Malta in ground combat is... what, the Italian wars? Possibly the Moldavian Ventures but that's not confirmed. I dare you to find me a single instance of a knight of Malta using a lance in combat after that, or frick even during that period. The only land battle they participated in after that was the invasion of France, and they barely used weapons let alone armor in that one. They just gave up.

So everyone is expected to conform to chivalry as a matter of culture and law? From early childhood each person is taught martial skills, horsemanship, and basic tactics? That sort of thing?
Yeah, when someone is born they are a squire and are knighted when they become an adult. Anyone who is not knighted at adulthood is exiled. So even if someone job is something like barmaid that person is also knight.

England sort of had a system like that where all the upper classes were proper knights while the lower system were yeomen, so it isn't inconceivable.
we need a word for that kind of person who unironically believes that before 1945 nobody ever did anything but shit all over each other and get whipped by The Man.
>In order to be knighted you had to do something worthy of exception in combat
Hahahaha, good joke. That was one way to be knighted, you could just as easily get the position through being born into the right family and being old enough, paying money for the privilege, or any number of other ways of gaining favor with the crown. These days there are more actors with knighthood than there are 'knights' who have ever been to battle.
The knight is the ultimate virgin. A noble whose only valuable traits are being born with disposable time and income. Trained for combat yet never saw a day of war in all their life. Posers.
The true Chad is the barbarian. He has no knowledge of tactics, because his body is enough. He wears no armor, he bares his uncircumcised dick to the enemy. He is not fueled by money, he is fueled by psychedelic piss and passion for his people. He will die to any moderately trained warrior, but he won't go out like a b***h. He will go out like a true motherfricker.
I don’t even know what Chad means anymore. Back when /LULZ/ was first using it, it just meant some dumb himbo who gets laid constantly and now it’s some blanket term used for anything. On Ganker youll see people using it for anyone who likes some particular video game or genre, on /misc/ it means being a white Christian who marries and has children, and apparently, for some here, it means being some badass in combat. Such a gay term for NPCs
None of those are mutually exclusive. A Christian man who has shown his seed and fostered a stable family while being able to defend it when the time calls who has good taste in gaming is a chad.

They have a large advantage over your typical commoner turned adventurer. Obviously, there is nothing stopping the other guy from being a sharp swindler type character but the knight has a running start in the game we call life.
Their job is fighting, so they should be the best at it at.
It's stupid when mages can just shoot magic guns and roflstomp knights. If that kind of spell is available and is superior to fighting with lances and bows, then the knights should be the one using it.
There are exactly two good ways to do femknights.
There's going full Sergeant Jackrum from Discworld. A veteran so grizzled they've essentially switched sex, even if they were to take off their clothes they're 90% scar tissue and could conceivably claim to have lost their dick in the war. (And they've been in so many wars that which war is an open question)
The other is Julie d'Aubigny (Even though she herself was not a knight)

knights, being humans, can range from virgins and chuds to thads and chads in opposite extremes and everything in between
What game, and how is "Chad" quantified?
The Chadest ask Stacy she'll tell you

What about we make a knight setting? Like a land where everyone is a knight.

Historically speaking your entire bloodline is moronic.
Game of Thrones and its consequences have been a disaster for RPGs

Commies, anon. They're called commies.
op i am going to rape you
In order to be knighted you had to do something worthy of exception in combat - so very

They are, in theory, strong and well-trained men whose social standing depends on their prowess and loyalty.
So they could be chads, but they could also be brutish thugs or foppish posers. Or, often, a mix of the three.

Laois looks to be rather distraught over a slime.
Have folks truly forgotten that the ideal knight was a beta orbiter who only removed Kebab?
And the ideal body type was a twink.
Very, but that's merely the ideal. Actual knights varied person to person, place to place, and time period to time period.
Fairly.
colorfu knights best knights
Knights are a particular kind of warrior that existed in the medieval era. No more, no less.
Please OP, I beg you, touch grass
Very. Whether they're black or white, noble or low born, if they uphold the values of the knightly code, they're chad.
