For example:Rogue, you can skin a rapier as a katana easily enough, they are both fairly light quick blades (though definitely different in some details, but still, D&D is pretty abstract). You could even pick up the feat that lets you use heavy blades, though it is a trap option at best. Obviously this option gives you good bow capabilities, though you won't get to use a longbow (but again, is a Daikyu really the same as a longbow?). You can obviously skin this as something like a secret Ninja identity etc.Fighter, already covered pretty much. You can also pick up what little options there are for mounted combat.Ranger, quite effective as a sort of classic bow plus sword pair user. Skin your hide armor as one of the lighter variants of armor worn by Samurai (many of them wore various forms of leathers).Paladin, you can do this too, kind of an odd concept, but definitely workable.Avenger, kinda already mentioned, works fine on its own, though again its a bit on the 'magical' side.Barbarian, hey why not? You're that Samurai that gets pissed off...Warlord, kinda already covered by TonyWarden, heh, again, why not? This guy is definitely got a little bit of a story going!The Essentials fighter builds will all work, though some are obviously more thematic than others.No doubt there are more possibilities, but you really don't NEED to hybrid to find good ones.</blockquote>
