Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I've messed around with this for a week, and I seem to just be spinning my wheels. I've got all the .2da documents adjusted, and I'm using the caviler kit as a template, but I can't seem to get any of the modified .spl to work. Finally I'd like to post this as a weidu, but that is way outside of my abilities, would anyone be willing to assist me?
Samurai are professional warriors, members of the noble class who are trained in the arts of warfare. They are not only trained for their role in society, they are born for it—born into a system of allegiance, loyalty, and honor that
influences every stage of their lives. A samurai cut loose from this system is no longer a samurai; he is an ordinary fighter, a ronin with no honor and no standing in society.
Advantages:
- 1st Level the samurai begins to learn the art of focusing his ki. By concentrating on his breathing and using a kiai, the samurai increases his strength score to 18/00 for one round. A samurai can focus his ki a number of times per day equal to his level (I can't get this to work at all, I've tried mimicking the gauntlets of ogre power with our luck)
- 2nd level a samurai gains a +1 bonus to his damage dice rolls. This bonus increases by an additional point for every three levels beyond 2nd (Similar to AP_SPCL141.SPL minus the Thac0 adjustment)
- 5th level the samurai is immune to fear (Similar to AP_SPCL221.SPL minus the acid/fire resistance, and poison immunity)
- 9th level the samurai also gains the ability of the great kiai, or paralyzing shout, This power draws upon the characters ki, exploding in a ferocious, warlike shout. The samurai’s Strength score is raised to 18/00 for two rounds and all enemies within 10 feet must save vs. paralyzation or be stunned for one round. The great kiai can be used only once per day.
(Similar to the HLA GA_SPCL908.SPL with the addition of raising the strength score, I've made several attempts to make this work and I just can't figure it out, I've tried copying all the settings from both the girdle of hill strength and the gauntlets of ogre power)
Disadvantages:
- Weapon specialization limited to Katana, Wakazashi, and Long bow
- Minimum scores of 13 in Strength, Wisdom and Constitution, and 14 in Intelligence
- Must maintain be of lawful alignment alignment
- If party reputation drops below 8, becomes a Ronin, loses all Samurai abilities, and is the equivalent of a Fighter (cannot regain Samurai status) (I tried using a modifying a paladin kit as I believe this is a hardcoded ability similar to a fallen ranger)
