This class is based vaguely on the rules Frank and K presented in Races of War and the Dungeonomicon, particularly the sections in Races of War on Fighting with Honor, the Dungeonomicon polymorph revision, and the Dungeonomicon monk. There are also some balance choices, such as number of natural wea...

Roll one attack roll and c...

One thing's been bothering me: there's no equivalent for Spring Attack in the Races of War feats. Is this intentional? While it's way overcosted in the core, I don't think the concept is bad, and I think it offers interesting tactical possibilities.

However, try as I might, I haven't been able to find support for this in the MM. I'll list some examples.[br][br]Angels: +12, +14,...

Like most monsters, though...

Because if the samurai isn't using a 2-handed weapon, it's pointless to even mention the bastard sword. Unless, of course, the said samurai is also an Exotic Weapon Master (as you say).[br]If the samurai is an EWM, he is encouraged to use the exotic one-handed crit x4 pick. [br][br]That's true. In ...

A couple of other notes from my recent experience building a samurai:[br][br] Or, rather, whatever 1-handed x4 pick you can find. [br][br]- Why use a one-handed weapon? Samurai don't have shield proficiency, and as far as I can tell in RoW rules, there isn't any way to get shield proficiency except ...
