I'd rather just use Slayer for my odachi weilding samurai, knight for my regular old samurai, and tempest fighter or some rogue/ranger build for my two-weapon wielding one. Wu Jen is just a mage, shukenja could be one of several classes, sohei is probably a monk or maybe a cleric, etc. The existing 4e builds are no further from oriental legendary character archetypes than they are from western ones if you ask me. Less is more.I'd point out too that IMHO the psionics system is a bit borked. Every time new mechanics get created they require new feats, new items, new classes, etc. It is a question of whether it is really cost effective. 4e is already such a huge system. If something can be achieved with a couple feats and some refluffing I think it is a lot more desirable to do that. Of course everyone is welcome to their own opinion as to if that is an adequate way to go for any given proposed addition to the game.</blockquote>
