I second Sly's idea something hardcore; as it stands, most races/classes can't even use starting weapons/armor without a penalty.

That said, those tweaks sound like a very fair idea, Dev, with the sole exception of BKs only getting a class bonus from Indomitable. It's only 12%. So... 40 str would become... what, 45-46? It's not much. Most BKs still won't be able to use a decent weapon (Read: Non-twinked. Yes, a 1 star rebellious weapon most likely weighs less than a 5 or so star weapon, but the odds of finding one for yourself, early on?) if they use heavy armor. Yes, BKs don't need a freakishly hefty subweapon, but their armor is arguably more important, as they're all about closing in and tanking.

Especially when you consider the excel weapons and Black Knights both came from Chaturanga... it doesn't make sense that a BK wouldn't be able to handle that kind of weaponry in addition to their armor until near the level cap, if at all.


Suggestion: Add a further BW bonus to Board Shaker since it scales with armor weight. Perhaps Rank*2 to actually allow a Bodyguard (Aka the only way Board Shaker can actually do noteworthy damage) to be usable without completely neutering your hit rate.
