In summary, not as good as a full-class 'defender' might have been, not too flexible even for a fighter archetype, but a pleasant surprise compared to the BM & PDK.So he got /really/ angry when he became a Ronin.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Or, going the other way, the Barbarian is trained in the Far East ("...the Poetry of Kitai, the Philosphy of Tsung...") Yeah, because RP restrictions'll fix anything.  Heck, just don't use MCing... anyone who's concept combines Samurai with Barbarian can play an Outlander Samurai or Noble Barbarian.Few encounters in 5e are going to go 10+ rounds, so that's a simple (D&D 'simple,' anyway, way to make it a 1/encounter resource as a residual benefit).  Clever, really.Nod.  In 5e, rather than 'costs a move action,' you could use verbiage along the lines of:  "If you have not moved since the start of your last turn..." or "You cannot use your move on the same round."</blockquote>
