Hello Playground,
Today i got invited to a new game, and was looking around and the bushi class template caught my eye. I was immediately reminded of Himura Kenshin from Ruroni Kenshin, and knew what i wanted to play. I'm just really not sure where to start. i'm kinda looking at stalker as the base, and trying to be a bit more of a skirmisher, using mobility to quickly dispatch enemies and avoid taking damage (because from what im told, there isnt any healing currently in the party), though i may end up as a pseudo-frontliner and taking a number of blows (the DM is pretty lenient when it comes to "tanking" and will make sub-optimal strategic choices to help them play the part if thats what theyre choosing. nothing straight suicidal, or stupid. just a lot of "you've failed to hit me 3 times and are still trying? ok")
I was hoping the playground could help me w/ some ideas for what manuvers and feats would be good, as well as any other advice i can get. Usually i just look up all the guides for a class and piece it together (w/ maybe a bit of help from the playground) but there isnt really much i can find on bushi... which is understandable since its basically just an archetype, but i thought there would be enough there for at least a couple posts talking about the tradeoffs and differences between the types of bushi
thanks for your time!
