Munchkin Stuff: Instead of using the normal bonus feats for being a Samurai I took whatever feats I thought made sense. This is a little munchkin-headed, but I think that since three of the feats are non-combat based it isn't really such a bad thing. I also am claiming weapon proficiency with all of my weapons listed instead of burning feats to claim so many exotic weapons. The "Guantlet of Ogre Power" is just one guantlet, instead of a pair. This guantlet can "absorb" the souls of defeated outsiders.

Guantlet of Ogre Power: This Guantlet is an artifact belonging to the Clan of Ogre's which was subverted by the demons. This guantlet can seal the souls of defeated outsiders and regain the lost power of the Clan of Ogres. For every Hit Die a defeated outsider possessed the guantlet gains 10 soul points. When the guantlet has absorbed 25,000 soul points its power increases making it a Guantlet of Ogre Power (+4). When 50,000 soul points have been absorbed the guantlet becomes a Guantlet of Ogre Power (+6).
Ancestral Daisho: Souls sealed into the Guantlet of Ogre Power can be invested into the weapons and items of the bearer. Such souls still count towards the total power level of the Ogre Guantlet but cannot be spent on anything else. The Samurai must complete this ritual at an appropriate shrine or temple and spend one day for every 1,000 souls invested in prayer. Souls can be invested into other weapons and items based on this same table.

*The current weapons have a +2 modifier equivilent, but this does not count towards the total souls sealed into the guantlet. It does count towards the total sacrifice made so far. This means that 10,000 more souls must be sealed in order to increase the level of the weapon.

I'll think of my stats as soon as possible. I hope you have room for an elven wizard, or should he be a sorcerer? In Dalamar the Dark he uses pretty spontaneous casting. Maybe he'll be a sorcerer who thinks he needs to read spellbooks?
