whoa there...actually a SK just needs to hold aggro, and in bronze or not that's not tricky on a SK. Don't taint the knight hybrids with your gear dependency. Sure it helps but a disease cloud is a disease cloud (10 mana), u no?

Bronze just sux, especially the weight early on, it's a huge difference, and likely could be stuck with it for a while. I don't pound on SK as hard as warrior, but any gear dependence class, at least which isn't a large race, is going to just not be so enjoyable with the lack of stats and/or AC.
SK is less of an issue than warrior as I mentioned, but it goes a long way for an SK to have at least some modest gearing out the city gates. I like my DE SK, but ungeared, would pass. Doesn't really take too much to gear an SK for a start, but much harder using that SK to self gear... especially when you cant even hardly carry loot to sell.
I'm not saying absolutely don't do it, but would seem more frustrating to as a first character. By the time someone runs with an easy-ish class for a bit (call it a squire whatever heh), puts some research into the game, that SK what ever stats, planned armor and weapons with correct deity, is going to feel a lot better as a main character on a start. Some would disagree, but that's just how I sees it, take it or leave it.
And yeah, as above, if I were going to run a nekid SK, I'd go with troll as a choice, though I'd prolly choose a ogre over that. But neither are my first choice for SK, but personal pref, which is harder due to the str prob.
