The purpose of Honorable Soul was to allow the Samurai to function effectively as the party Face without needing to significantly pump Charisma. The reason I choose acting as the party Face to be the Samurai's primary role outside of combat was that it fit with the concept of the Samurai as a noble (in the class sense of the word) warrior, who would be expected to have experience in social matters.
