I'd recommend removing Command, Crafts and Ballistics from the class and adding in Stealth, Larceny and Deceive. Level 2 has too many feats at an impressive 9. I'd drop a Skill Focus and bring Quickdraw down to level 1. That way all levels get 7 feats. The Skill Focuses are nice but they can probably be swapped out for other feats, although they allow for a good mirroring of the Samurai currently. I'd move Sneak Attack down to level 3, replacing Skill Focus, and add Backstab to level 4, and Improved Sneak Attack to level 5, replacing the Skill Focus there. I notice you left level 5 as requiring Discipline still, which the class doesn't get. I know you wanted to keep it to the feats available in the original book 1 and 2, but if you want to use any of the feats from my excessively defensive Warden Class track, feel free as they would fit the Tankiness of the class. |

Changed out some feats and fixed errors as recommended. Now we need new class names. |

I am afraid I am absolutely terribly at appropriately painfully Japanese names for things like this, I only know the Ronin. You forgot to remove Sneak Attack from level 4 when you moved it to level 3. That does have the interesting side effect of letting riggers and monks that get Combat Sense slide into the 4th level of this class for Sneak Attack instead of getting in at level 3. That's the great thing about homebrew that only uses existing feats from the first two books, it allows great multi-classing and dipping options. I generally like to create entirely new options and abilities when I homebrew, but just combining existing options in new ways to create new options is wonderful too. |

Corrected. As for the names, I might borrow the names of Yakuza ranks or something. |

Thank you. I switched out Ronin on the track for Yojimbo, but kept everything else. |
