So lange d6ideas im Wartungs- und Umbaumodus ist, muss ich die Klasse kurz andernorts auskotzen, nachdem ich sie endlich einmal vollends zusammengesteckt habe, wenn auch noch sehr vorläufig.
Eigentlich hätte ich gerne noch eine breitere Auswahl bei den Heirloom Weapons, aber die vierfache Abstufung des Fighting Styles (die ich eigentlich eigens dafür von den restlichen Heirloom Features abgetrennt habe) steht mir da noch im Weg.
Die Allegiances machen im Moment leider ziemlich wenig, für mehr habe ich auf Anhieb aber keinen Platz gefunden (ohne Stoicism noch furchtbar aufzublähen und dort Allegiance-abhängige Bedingungen für den Einsatz einzubauen).
Wie für The Red Star üblich sind ein paar in Modern nicht vorhandene Feats als Class Features fest verbaut (Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization) zusammen mit Critical Strike sind das ziemlich feste Eckpunkte in allen kampforientierten Red Star-Klassen.
Nach kurzer Überlegung habe ich mich gegen den Pathfinder-Samurai als Vorlage entschieden, hauptsächlich, da ich Challenge für eine Isle of Lions-Klasse reservieren möchte (wenn ich mich jemals so weit durch den Atlas von The Red Star durchfräsen sollte).
(Ansonsten ist Balance bei The Red Star ohnehin so eine Sache, und steht für mich in meinen eigenen Runden auch nicht so weit oben.)
