Samurai Custom Class Idea

[rnlmeat0666]

I borrowed some powers and themes from someone else's character. Original was in http://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_ACG/comments/1ypptu/custom_character_rur ouni_kenshinbased_character/

I made some changes and started to work on a card design on the samurai class card. Wanted your opinion if its looking alright.

It looks like you put a lot of work and thought into this character. I like it, but I think it could still be improved on. The main problem I see is that it is still very close to the Fighter. They have very similar powers, and almost identical card list. I would suggest looking over this website and trying to work in some virtues of a samurai.

I would also suggest changing some of the powers to have something to do with 2 swords.

I believe another idea could be to change the character class to Ronin. You could drop the Allies to 0 and thus make it different than the Fighter. Here is an idea.

Ronin

Str: D6 o+1 o+2
Dex: D12 (Melee +2)(Acrobatics +1) o+1 o+2 o+3 o+4
Con: D4 o+1

Wis: D8 (Perception +2) (Survival +1) o+1 o+2 o+3
Char: D6 o+1 o+2

Hand Size: 4 o5 o6

Proficient with: Light armor Weapons

Powers:
Reveal two weapons with the "Sword" trait to add a D6 (o +1)(o +2) to a Charisma Check.
If you discard a blessing to explore a location, instead recharge that blessing.

Card List: Favored Card : Weapon
