Jap ent/ Sam character suggestions.
Okay, I'm the friend Mr. Fidget spoke of earlier, so I'll post my 2 cents here on your idea.. after two readthrus (quick ones) and no actual playtest I would do the following:
1st level: Dedicated Hero with Skill Emphasis: Knowledge (Business)
Starting Occupation: Entrepreneur (Choosing Bluff and Diplomacy as Class skills since the Dedicated hero does not start with these as class skills.)
Starting Feats: Attentive (+2 to Sense Motive and Investigate) and Heroic Surge (extra move or attack action)
Skills: Jump 1 rank
2nd level: Dedicated Hero with Bonus Feat: Archaic Weapon Prof.
3rd Level: Dedicated Hero with Aware talent, Feat: Combat Reflexes
Skills: Jump 2 ranks
4th Level: Smart Hero with Exploit Weakness Talent, Stat increase to either Dex or Int
5th Level: Dedicated Hero with Bonus Feat: Blindfight
Skills: Jump 3 ranks
6th Level: Dedicated Hero with Cool under Pressure talent allows you to take ten in stressful situations (Diplomacy, Spot, Sense Motive and additional skills equal to wis bonus)
Feat: Combat Martial Arts
7th Level: Smart Hero with Bonus Feat: Weapon Focus (Katana)
8th Level: Smart Hero with Savant Talent (Knowledge:Business or Research)
Stat increase to Dex or Int
9th Level: Dedicated Hero with Bonus Feat: Deceptive
Feat: Defensive Martial Arts
10th Level: Dedicated Hero with Empathy talent.
11th-20th level: Martial Artist Advanced Class
There you go.. I played off the entrepreneur idea and the honor in business..
If you wanted to go the soldier route more than the marial arts route you could replace defensive martial arts with Personal Firearms Proficiency. Replace Jump with Knowledge (tactics) a class skill for the Smart Hero but not the Dedicated hero.
