Class Features: The following are the class features of The Samurai
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Samurai are proficient with all simple weapons, martial weapons, and one exotic weapon of thier choice.
Samurai are proficient with all shields and armor.
Honor Bound:
The honor-bound is a special penalty that applies to samurai, rather then alignment they are expected to follow this honor-bound as best as humanly possible. Though the honor-binding can be anything you and your GM could thinkup, a prime example would be not being able to bluff. If you made the consciouss effort to bluff, you become a dishonored samurai and can no longer gain levels in samurai untill you atone, samurai cannot multi-class into ninja, nor can ninja multi-class into samurai!
When said "best as humanly possible" it was meant to be taken seriously, no arguments about mind-control, the samurai must make the consciouss choice to disrupt his honor contract.
Favored Enemy:
As the ranger's ability.
Smite:
1/day per samurai level, as an extraordinary ability, the samurai may add +X to his attack and damage roll, (weter melee, ranged, or throwing) X being equal to his charisma modifier. What constitutes who the samurai can smite is either his favored enemies list, or has an alignment that is not his own. Applying smite is a free action, and you can stack smites onto eachother.
(Regardless of your charisma modifier this will always do atleast +1)
