[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7725576, member: 6801228"] Hmmm, I'm not sure how I feel about the change to the samurai. I got a chance to play a half-orc samurai for a few levels, and Heavy Armor Master's DR combined with Resistance made me incredibly hard to take down and I liked that.

Getting a massive boost of temp hp that only lasts a turn may make you nearly invincible for that turn, but makes it a difficult proposition for other times you may want the advantage. But, getting only 5 or 10 points of temp hp isn't going to do a whole lot if you've got more than one attack coming you way, even if it lasts all day.
