Someone on these boards had a great re-skinned barbarian serving as samurai. Rage as "battle zen", the other barb features mesh quite nicely with what one would expect of a samurai.

Actually, I really appreciate this approach. I consider these detailed cultural write-ups and "canon" monster lore as a convenient fall back position when I can't be bothered to think of something else for a given monster in my campaign. If a DM has a different idea for kobolds (or whatever...

Cutting Words don't seem that overpowering, I think. It's limited to 5 uses per encounter at the most, assuming CHA20 and resting after every battle (also forgoing any other uses a bard may have for his inspiration), it's a single die and applies to one character in a round. I don't think it's...
