Message: <blockquote data-quote="PrecociousApprentice" data-source="post: 4606155" data-attributes="member: 61449">How about this for Samurai[SBLOCK=Samurai]SamuraiYou are a soldier of noble birth who follows the code of bushido and serves a daimyo.Base Class: PaladinAbilities:  Replace any instance of Charisma with Wisdom on all of your class powers.Power Source: Ki. Your powers are now called "techniques," and have the Ki descriptor.Damage Types: Any class powers with the Radiant or Fire keyword that deal Radiant or Fire damage instead have the Force keyword and deal Force damage.Class Skills: You are automatically trained in History, not Religion. Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in the bastard sword and longbow. You lose proficiency in light and heavy shields.Implement: You may use a bastard sword as an implement for powers that use implements. Add the weapon's enhancement bonus to the power's attack and damage, but do not add the weapon's proficiency bonus to attack rolls.Class Features: Your Divine Challenge is replaced by Psychic Challenge. [SBLOCK=Psychic Challenge]Psychic Challenge Samurai Class Feature You boldly confront a nearby enemy, increasing it's anxiety to the point of surrender.At-Will✦Ki, Psychic Minor Action Close burst 5 Target: One creature in burst Effect: You mark the target. The target remains marked until you use this power against another target, or if you engage another target (see below). A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place. -While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn’t include you as a target. Also, it takes psychic damage equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier if it doesn't attack you. The damage increases to 6 + your Wisdom modifier at 11th level, and to 9 + your Wisdom modifier at 21st level. -On your turn, if you take any action with a target other than the target of your psychic challenge, or if you move away from the target, the marked condition ends and you can’t use psychic challenge on your next turn. -You can use psychic challenge once per turn. -Special: Even though this ability is called a challenge, it doesn’t rely on the intelligence or language ability of the target. It’s a magical compulsion that affects the creature’s behavior, regardless of the creature’s nature. You can’t place a psychic challenge on a creature that is already affected by your or another character’s divine challenge.[/SBLOCK]Lay on Hands is renamed to Miyagi Ki Channel. Channel Divinity is renamed to Channel Ki, with powers named Bolstering Ki and Strengthening Ki. These class features all work the same way, just their names are changed.Powers: Select your utility powers from the fighter utility powers instead of the paladin powers.[/SBLOCK]I like the image of two samurai facing off, each using their Psychic Challenge in a psychic dual before a fight. This creates the possibility of a psychic dual that ends with no weapons drawn, no bloodshed, and a clear victor as the other samurai admits that the victor is more powerful and stands down. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />The asian flavored classes all seem like they should have wisdom as a key ability. This is to get the zen feeling of the classes.</blockquote>
