For armor, whatever looks best in your mind, same as armor for any build.

For the weapon, I'd recommend something with length, like the Shashka or Arabian Cavalry Sword.  The Long Espada Eslavona is also nice if you are willing to spend for it.

Thanks for the help.

With seven STR I am not sure he can use those weapons you suggested.

[Frank]

Yeah just figured that out. Since I will only be using xbow on horseback, does a short war sword sound good for when I am dehorsed?

[Waylit]

Does anybody know at what point the WPF maxs out the accuracy of a light xbow?  A friend of mine thinks that passed a certain WPF, you are limited by the accuracy of the weapon and you will never see more accuracy.  I counter that it is possible that with maxed out WPF in xbow, even if your standing accuracy is limited by the weapon, your moving accuracy will be better.

Anybody know?

against anyone in medium-heavy or heavy armor you will not even be able to harm them, it'll glance city.  Blunt or pierce is highly recommended

[Dezilagel]

I'd use a mace

[Iymore]

use Scottish Sword, 7 str needs and 27cut 27 pierce ;) And cheap

Dude, if you have no athletic, you will be dead 2 sec after you hit the ground. Use wooden stick.

[Iymore]

Maybe he gonna use mamluk horse? it's hard to down

[Laufknoten]

I'd use the knobbed mace, the knockdown and blunt damage will help you to survive a little when dehorsed.
