What's a good system to use for a game where the PCs are all knights or men-at-arms?

That alone could be anything. Hell, I could see it in MAID, PCs trying to please whoever their boss is.

Pendragon?

D&D Martials only.

For Heroic Knights, Pendragon. If you want it gritty and lethal instead, Harnmaster.

Riddle of Steel
Careful though: it's highly lethal.

Of everything that's overwhelmingly retarded about this armour, why leather plates?

GURPS.
Good combat stuff, nice lists of weapons and armors and stuff.

>>49417521
Pendragon

>>49417521

Why would a knight need a satchel? What does he expect to get out of that thing in the middle of battle?

Water? Beer? Bible?

>>49417942

Water and beer did not exist in the Middle Ages.

If you're going realistic, authentic, Riddle of Steel/Song of Swords.

If you're going for more high powered/over the top stuff, Legends of the Wulin is great. While its core is eastern style Wuxia combat, I've used it for western style characters with great success and only a few tweaks.

If you're talking about his chest piece, that is very clearly a coat of plates or a brigandine.

Pendragon is great I recommend it has a good amount of realism in economics (if you want to use the advance rules) , and the fact that combat is deadly, but it also has plenty of room for weird magical occurrences.

Complicated at first, but you'll get the hang of it pretty fast. I don't recommend it for large groups though.

It has a very deadly combat system, and yet is very RP focused.

Combat is like rock paper scissors with actions happening at the same time. So if I Block and you attack, I can cancel your attack and maybe set you up for an attack with my next action---but! I have to script all my actions for the round before it starts.

Friends and I had fun running a Game of Thrones game with it.

Can you use it for a 1700's survival/exploration game?
>>
>>49421015
It's pretty versatile, honestly, and combat doesn't always have to be that rock-paper-scissors style. Using it's simplified to only be a couple of rolls.

I GM it and only break out that sorta complicated combat for important fights, like those that tie to instincts, goals, or beliefs.
