05-25-07, 08:56 AM I am gooing to be playing the fighter in the next campaign and settled on samurai out of OA not Complete Warrior. The problem is I need to find a good prestige class. I was looking something maybe more then just a fighter type. Maybe something with a little spell casting fell but with a high hitdie. I was planning on human but very open to change. I was planning on going with light armor and the Katana. I may take the two handed fighting tree but am looking at the dodge spring attack tree right now for my feats. Anyone have any ideas?

05-25-07, 09:39 AM Iajutsu Master is a nice one. Also you could go with a my Diamond Samurai (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=803468) with a few of the feats for Maneuvers and stances.

05-25-07, 09:42 AM I have a 5 level Master Samurai PrC available HERE (http://www.geocities.com/unholydragoon/MASTERSAMURAI.htm).

I'd post it, but I won't let WotC have it for free. ;)

05-25-07, 05:38 PM The OA weapon master can work out, possibly (if you are a multiclass samurai/manifester and have feats to burn) the Psychic Weapon Master from the online articles. A couple of levels on exotic weapon master can also work. Strangely enough, duelist (with some IM levels to treat the katana as finessable) or dervish (ideally with 2 weapons or having the katana instead of the scimitar as light weapon) could work very well.

However, if you are playing in OA, some of the clan-ish PrCs can also work. Just because you're not playing in Rokugan doesn't mean you can't adapt rokugani stuff.
