Samurai Build advice

[Bhrymm]

I'm thinking of making a Samurai for one of my next characters but I'm a little worried. I never played one before and never played a cavalier which it seems to be based off of. I like the concept of Samurai but my mental concept of them is a lot more based on movies than history.

Can anyone give me a brief overview of pitfalls to avoid and/or what the real strengths of the class are?

My cohost, Barry, and I did a podcast episode on the Cavalier that includes the Samurai that you might find useful for inspiration. Give it a listen!
