[QUOTE="Elderbrain, post: 7704688"] Not sure I'm really qualified to speak on the game-mechanical pros and cons of the new archtypes, but they should ditch the names "Samurai" and "Knight". There is already a Knight background in the Player's Handbook which one could add to a Fighter, and the Battlemaster Fighter archtype pretty much has "Samurai" covered already - they even mention courtly proficiencies like calligraphy and give the archtype the ability to size up the opponent's level, like a stereotypical Samurai measuring up his foe. Besides, if they name an archtype "Samurai" or "Knight", the implication is that if you do not select that archtype, you are not a Samurai or Knight, or are not a "real" Samurai or Knight... pick different names!
