You could have had some fun with that.1) Nice to see that someone is getting some use out of that arcane duelist PrC. 99% of people thought it was useless, but this just proves there's no such thing as a completely lost cause. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2) With that sort of Cha, you definitely don't need Extra Turning. Dump this for Power Attack.3) AC should be 10 + 9 (chain shirt) + 6 (Dex) + 4 (deflection) + 4 (nat armour) + 7 (shield) + 11 (Cha) = 51, I think. The animated shield is iffy, though. Even if Snowflake Wardance worked with it (which IMO it doesn't), what self-respecting samurai uses a shield, even one that floats in front of him? The scabbard seems more in keeping with the schtick, if you want a shield-like item. I wouldn't let Div Shield work with it, though.4) Even with the AC bonus limited to no. of levels in arcane duelist, AC of ~40 is still pretty good. Is 10 levels of iaijutsu master really necessary? I can't remember what the top-level ability is.5) You might want the dusty rose ioun stone for an additional +1 AC.6) Is it supposed to be a wounding katana? What's "collision"?7) Where does the extra +1 save vs Charm spells come from?8) I really like the winged circlet. Oh yes.9) +3 max luck bonus seems fair.10) For a character in actual play, you probably want something to protect against crits/sneak attacks. A few of those can ruin anyone's day. Ditto freedom of movement, to protect against grappling. A teleport/dim door item would also be good, especially if you don't have buddies who can do it for you.</blockquote>
