I'd like to have your comments on the following questions.
Is Loyal beyond death capstone ability still as the "Wow I absolutly need to get this ability" feel when you have the Die Hard feat available to anyone?
Also, will you add acrobatic to the Knight skill list since the orignal had Jump?
Thanks

I personally wouldn't add acro to the list, as out of all the skills that got rolled into it they only had one.
A few things about the Knight.
It ABSOLUTELY needs to be split early into Mounted Knight and Defender Knight. WotC tried to combine them and it just came out far more gimped than it needed t.
Also the upper level abilities need to be buffed and the current ones lowered in level. There was just no reason to stay in the class to get some of the high level abilities because they were so terrible at their level.

Honest question ...
Now that we have the cavalier from the Advanced Players Guide, do we need the knight as well?
If there are abilities and such the knight has that people really like (I don't remember much about the knight - I sold all my 3.5 books a while ago) would it make more sense to adapt the knight's abilities into a new cavalier order instead?
You could make fairly effective Knights as either Fighters or Cavaliers, but as a class the Knight does convert over to PF very nicely. The biggest changes I feel they need are a better feat list (just give them access to all combat feats and move on), and a boost to their shield ability (perhaps +2 instead of +1 each time it goes up, or just have it apply to all opponents). But Loyal Beyond Death is great, and the Taunt at 4th? level is the best one I've seen anywhere (note that it doesn't say anywhere that it is mind-affecting).
I think if you gave them an animal companion/mount, along with the above changes, then you would have a nice, PF-ready, fully playable Knight.
