Okay we'll start off with generic stuff that any of the different options can use, and Horse Archers. I'm thinking they need abilities to mount/dismount the horse easily, make trick shots perhaps (or just better ones), optional critical effects, etc. While I'm trying to find out what they were capable of doing in real life, anyone have any thoughts on what you'd like to see them do?

If you want to make their shots to do something else, maybe some tricks involving ranged pin/disarm/sunder? And maybe a free/swift action to mount or dismount a horse might be good too... |

Okay I got two examples of the Ki abilities up on the front page. The prerequisites are just for right now, I can modify them later if needed. This is just to give an example of what the Ki abilities will look like.

Added a few more Ki abilities. Hopefully once the PC is fixed it'll be fast enough for me to do more work.

Added few more Ki abilities. Now that you guys have at least a decent idea of one direction I'll be going with them any thoughts?

I apologise in advance, I haven't read the entire thread. Now, I have read the class description on the front page, and I can tell you one thing immediately: Some of the bonus feat progressions are off. You'd want many things earlier, and others later. Of course it might be thematicaly wrong, but it's still supposed to be a D&D class, right? Things like this: Infantry Archer: You are one of the lower ranking Samurai, standing in the back with masses of longbow archers. You gain the following Feats: 1: Point Blank Shot, 4: Far Shot, 7: Precise Shot, 10: Improved Critical (Composite Longbow), 13: Sharp-Shooting, 16: Penetrating Shot, and 19: Improved Precise Shot. Precise shot, for instance, is just way too late. Unless you wanted to give the person an open bonus feat of course (at best state clearly that if you already have a feat from the bonus feats, pick a free one). Now I know that you are envisioning an infantry archer who stands around in a group of archers shooting at enemy formations, but what's the point of making a D&D class option if noone is ever going to take it? Noone is ever going to play a samurai in such a hierarchy. And NPCs don't need that much attention to detail. |

I can always fiddle with them once I get the Ki Abilities done. If it weren't for the constant rl distractions I should've had this thing and a few PrC's done already.

3 more Ki abilities, edited the text on using the Ki Abilities in the class description, and slightly edited Military Training. As things have been slow I have been considering posting pictures of Japanese women in boundage.  |

That...looks mighty unwieldly...and not terribly protective...no wonder they gave up on developing shields. |

I feel that you should just roll Short Haft and Improved Short Haft into one feat that lets you threaten your deadzone as well. The stupid Spiked Chain lets you do that and more for one feat, and polearms are way cooler than that piece of links.

Stand Still seem appropriate.
Maybe a feat from a Dragon Magazine: Spear Master: you can treat all spears as double weapons, with the wooden end doing 1d6 bludgeoning.

I cant find Spear Master but Stand Still does seem appropriate. Edited them in.
