[QUOTE="Harshax, post: 4127689, member: 61534"] Personally, I see the archetypical Samurai as more of a Striker than a Defender or Leader, but that's besides the point. This is D&D! And we've had an Oriental Adventures sourcebook for every edition of the game since the 80's. So chances are, the majority of writers, gamers, and consumers disagree with you. Whether you think it is silly or not, probably doesn't factor into the OP's request, so I don't really know how you are contributing to the discussion, other than to hijack or troll it. I definitely prefer to get all the thematic classes in one go, and not spread across different splat books, so I'll be rooting for a 4E Oriental Adventures Sourcebook, with classes and background material, and not wuxia themed characters spread out across several books. To bring this back on topic, I hope to see Psionics as a fully realized Power Source, so that if I want to run games featuring Psionics to the exclusion of Arcane and Divine Sources I can do so without a lot of personal writing.
