[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5446685, member: 50895"] Thanks for the critique. I agree, Ancestral Focus 6 requires a number of times per day usage limitation. Perhaps like the other Ancestral Foci at 1/4 the Yojimbo's level times per day. Good point on weapon bond, I will look at Paladin for comparison. I changed the name to Ancestral Weapon Bond. From Paizo message board responses on the Samurai build for Ultimate Combat, lots desire an option to Mount's Bond - since though mounted combat is very samurai, they would like options instead. I will move Mounted Archery to the Yabasume Combat Style. Now I need an alternate ability to replace this missing one from level 3. If you have the Advanced Players Guide, this alternate class is based similar to the Ranger archetype Skirmisher. The skirmisher eschews spell casting and gains Hunter Tricks. This is not really a ranger, just using ranger as template - that's why its an alternate class instead of an archetype. While the yojimbo eschews magic, he does get access to a limited number of ki powers, in this case five ki powers, and may select any available ki powers from the list in the second post. At 16th may select Greater Ki. Balance wise its about the same as the Ranger Skirmisher archetype. I still need a capstone power. GP [/QUOTE]
