Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oni" data-source="post: 427779" data-attributes="member: 380">Here's my take on the samurai swordsman.  I don't know if is the most potent combination but I think it fits the image of the classic samurai swordsman.  He's quick on the draw, and can be pretty mobile on the battle field, he can deal good damage even if he isn't the strongest, and is even a decent mounted combatant.  Samurai 2/Fighter 4/Master Samurai 4/Iaijutsu Master 10Skills: Iaijutsu Focus is the big one here.  Also need some sundry other skills to qualify for Master samurai.  (you'll need a decent Int for this at least 12 I think)Feats:  Quick Draw, Improved Init, Weapon Focus (Katana),  Mounted Combat, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Katana), Power Attack, Cleave, Weapon Specialization (Katana), Mounted Archery, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Expertise, Combat ReflexesFirst level Samurai (any clan should have the feats you'll need)next five levels need another level of samurai and four levels of fighter.  3 level of Iaijutsu MasterThen from there on out 4 levels of Master Samurai and finish up Iaijutsu master in whatever order really is to your liking.  (you could take master samurai earlier, but I just didn't like the order that made you put the feats in.)And to top it off, you should have a decent weapon with you along the way because of the Ancestral Daisho ability of the Samurai.  Also the save work out to be just about as good as monk's (base Fort +11, Ref +12, Will +11).</blockquote>
