What would a relatively poor German man-at-arms wear in the 1300s-1400s?

Not a wealthy knight or a peasant soldier, but a career warrior who serves a knight or lord and is well equipped enough. What type of helmets, gauntlets, and body armor would have been available to someone of that station?

Examples from any german-speaking country in the era are fine!

5 Brotherhood of Steel paladins (Fallout) vs 10 Veteran Guardsmen (Warhammer 40k)

The Brotherhood is recovering tech in a large library (think Arlington Library FO3) when the Guardsmen bust in the door thinking they are engaging Chaos. All fight to the death.

Round 1: Paladins are in T-51B with 3 laser rifles, 1 gatling laser, and 1 super sledge. All have frag grenades. Guardsmen are all in Flak and have 5 lasguns, 1 plasma gun, 1 grenade launcher, 1 combat shotgun, and the sergeant has bolt pistol and power sword. They also have frags.

Round 2: Same as above, but the guardsmen have an additional 10 men with lasguns

Bonus round: The paladins instead face 5 Kasrkin/Scions with hotshot lasguns, sergeant with plasma pistol and power sword.

Who comes out on top, how many casualties?

What's it called when a character who was good the whole show is suddenly an asshole at the very end?

This is not a villain who pretended to be a good guy, I'm talking about someone who legitimately did good things all the time suddenly doing an uncharacteristic 180 with no explanation right before the show ends or the character leaves

[TOMT] Cartoon character who says "Yes, dear" in a wimpy voice because his wife is bossy

His voice is high pitched and nasal

I got no other clues, I just remember hearing it.

Best builds for Warrior/Summoner/Healer?

I don't need a wide array of spellcasting ability. My main focuses for this build are as follows.

1: Nearly always have one (or more) summoned creature(s) on the field.

2: Be the secondary melee combatant to back up the frontliner. With myself and summoned creatures combined, put out a significant number of attacks to overwhelm melee enemies.

3: Every round not spent summoning and attacking is spent healing a wounded party member.

I played a 3e D&D Druid that functioned like this once, but I feel Pathfinder has more options to do it better and I'd like to learn.

Is there a good build for wielding a 1 handed weapon with 2 hands?

I want to create a character that uses a longsword with 2 hands instead of dual-wielding, using a shield, or using a two-handed weapon. This is entirely for flavor because a longsword by historical Earth definition is a two-handed weapon, and I like the fencing styles.

Is there a build that makes this just as good or close to using a greatsword?

Best sources of XP before Ravel's Maze?

I'm trying to get to level 12 Fighter beforehand if possible, only level 9 currently. I already have the portal and key, and I'm having a hard time finding enough side quests to hit the goal.

Best level to switch from Fighter to Mage for decent fighter excellent mage experience?

I'm currently 6 fighter 5 mage, just made it to the trash warrens. I want to play as Mage through most of the game, and make it to level 20 Mage before end-game, but with *just enough* extra hit points and thaco that when I'm out of spells I still function decently in combat. I don't mind if Morte and Vhailor outperform me in combat, but being useless in melee isn't fun for me. What level Fighter should I stop at to reach this goal?

Would you rather fight a silverback gorilla for 10 seconds or a grey wolf for 30 seconds?

Fight is in an enclosed 10 sq ft ring and when time is up the animal can no longer harm you.

Edit: If you survive the time limit, you are healed of your injuries and guaranteed to live.

I'm playing BG1 through TOB and I'm currently specialized in Axes and Hammers, and planned to reach High Mastery in both as I progressed. The advantages of hammers like bludgeoning damage being less often resisted and having more powerful late game options are excellent, but I'm wondering if axes are worth it or if I should save the pips. Are there any axes good enough to warrant the expense?

Ork rok lands in Kansas City (looks near center of Coninental US) and starts wreaking havoc. The WAAAAAGH!!! is a ratio of 1 Nob to every 9 Boyz. None of them are wearing Mega Armor, and they are equipped with Shootas, Big Shootas, Choppas, Sluggas, Burnas, and only Nobz have Power Klaws. They start with a few squads of bikers and two dozen Killa Kans, but all other vehicles must be looted or made from scrap by meks.

The US Military is prioritizing civilian life as much as possible, not bombarding cities that have not been evacuated. Can they kill all the Orks before the country is overrun? The Orks can populate with spores, but once fully defeated will not come back.

CLARIFICATION: The orks have meks! They will make the vehicles they don't have. I didn't intend to set the Orks up for failure by giving them no anti-air or planes, I intended to handicap them by not starting with a full complement of planes and artillery, so they weren't an unstoppable force from the get go. The U.S.A. would obviously stand no chance at that point.

Edit: Clarified spore rules
