The Ronin, a master-less samurai from the Eastern lands. Came all the way to Adiart to seek redemption for his fallen Master. Using various teachings from the Samurai way, he must learn to survive and adapt in a war-torn environment. Only then can he return to the Eastern lands.

There are rumours that he communicates with the Gods to learn of the fate of others around him. Among the rumours are that he possesses a mighty blade in which he uses for duels. He also carries with him a strong oak bow, and with him, Kyudo, Way of the Bow, ancient teachings from the Samurai.

Many Samurai studied Bushido when training the Way of the Warrior. With this, he would be permitted to carry out more challenges with his blade and his bow. Aside his tough training and his ancient ways, he can very peaceful. He sits silently in Zen and nobody would bother him in fear of his rage.

Hmm. Interesting.

It feels a little weak though.

And it is unclear if he can kill or not.

#3

Also, the proper name for this class will be the Samurai.

#4

Technicallyā€¦ itā€™d be Roninā€¦

ā€œA rōnin was a samurai without lord or master during the feudal period (1185ā€“1868) of Japan.ā€

Shogun was just a concept for my original idea but Iā€™m sticking with Ronin.

#5

He needs to be a tad bit more powerful.
And Bushido should play a role in his abilities.
Why not just make him completely night immune?

#6

I would also recommend a Veteren like ability
2 uses.

#7

Then Iā€™d may as well make him Neutral Killer.

I wanted this to play a more survival class.

#8

Actually, no. Three.

#9

Veteran doesnā€™t stop him being survival class.

#10

I like it. I give it a solid 8/10 :thumbsup:

#11

Not being used as a lore for the class but I want to give a small bit of info on ā€˜Roninā€™ warriors of Japan:

Because the former samurai could not legally take up a new trade, or because of pride were loath to do so, many rōnin looked for other ways to make a living with their swords. Those rōnin who desired steady, legal employment became mercenaries that guarded trade caravans, or bodyguards for wealthy merchants. Many other rōnin became criminals, operating as bandits and highwaymen, or joining organized crime in towns and cities. Rōnin were known to operate, or serve as hired muscle for, gangs that ran gambling rings, brothels, protection rackets, and other similar activities. Many were petty thieves and muggers. The criminal segment gave the rōnin of the Edo period a persistent reputation of disgrace, with the image of thugs, bullies, cutthroats, and wandering vagrants.

My only giff is that it is unclear what you do when you ā€œstrikeā€ someone?

Do you kill them? Or roleblock them?

#13

I was unsure, I think I meant for it to mean ā€œduelā€ them kinda. Let me fix that

#14

This would also link into another idea of mine.

Customization options:

Japanese War Tent Room
Japanese Armour
If Japanese Armour wearers are executed - Seppuku Death Animation

#15

Whatā€™s the point of that objective?
Why not have it as just ā€œSurviveā€

#16

Thatā€™s just too easy and simple :wink: Come on, how many classes are forced to have to use their abilities?

Waitā€¦ you didnā€™t comment on the abilitiesā€¦ do you like this class as a whole? o.o

#17

Abilities are good mostly
Not a fan of what is essentially permanent night immunity
If the night immunity of others is removed forever then thatā€™s terrible

Also being forced to use your abilities isnā€™t great, because, for one thing, it means you are forced to kill a player when your wincon otherwise has no need for this whatsoever
Thereā€™s no point and will only lead to people losing because ā€œwhoops I forgot to commit murder for no benefit to myselfā€

#18

Alright, noted :slight_smile:

#19

@JammySplodge I took your advice

#20
