Any class will do for a ronin if you simply wish to follow the way of Bushido. Just focus on what you want to do simply tying your self to a class for the sake of the name can lock you down to things you may not want and limit your options. Build a character you will want to play and call him what you want.

I'm making a samurai warrior with a katana. you'll forgive me pointing out that the samurai class is seemingly excellently suited for this.

p.s.
I'm not one to be tied down by class names. I have made several "rogues" that were anything but *rogues*.

so you just want a guy that wields a katana and follows Bushido?

Swing through the panzer, not at the panzer.

actually he won't be following Bushido. he has left that behind and is currently a fugitive of sorts. he will however be a guy wielding a katana, yes. I know any class can do this, but you have to actually choose a class. your argumentation makes no sense to me. I can play as any class... yes, so what? I still have to pick one. the Samurai claas seems to be a perfect match, it has a bunch of interesting class abilities, and to top it off I've never tried to play it.

ok your playing it for flavor that clears up what you wanted him to do.
