Please consider the replacement of the mount ability with a combat feat for roleplaying issues. Also have a look at a trait replacement that I'd like.

Please let me know if you find any mistakes!

I'm writing the background as we speak.

Aritoki Katsuyori Nagayuki, Samurai 1
LE Medium humanoid (Human)
Init +2; Senses: Perception +1

DEFENSE
AC 17, touch 13, flat-footed 14 (+4 armor, +3 [Dexterity])
HP 15
Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +2

OFFENSE
Speed 20 ft., 80 running, 30 (120) without armor
Melee: Katana +5, 1d8+3, 18-20/x2, or Wakizashi +4, 1d6+2, 18-20/x2
Ranged: Daikyu +4 1d8, x3

STATISTICS
[Strength] 14, [Dexterity] 16, Con 13, Int 12, [Wisdom] 10, [Charisma] 10
Base Atk +1; CMB +3; CMD 16
Feats Toughness, Iron Will, Weapon Focus (Katana)

Skills: (-2ACP): Bluff +1, Diplomacy +1, Intimidate +5, Sense Motive +4, Perception +1, Survival +4, Linguistics +2, K. (Local) +5

SQ: Challenge 1/day (Samurai level on damage rolls, -2 AC against others), order (Ronin), resolve, (Mount ability subject to be replaced by a combat feat. Subject to GM approval. Aritoki may occasionally ride horses but he doesn't have any special mount or a particular connection with anyone, let alone animals)

Languages Tien, Minkaian, Common

Gear: Backpack, 2 Kimonos, Straw hat, Armored Coat, Daikyu, 20 arrows, MW Katana, MW Wakizashi, ration for 2 days, soap, mess kit, belt pouch, burning incense for prayers 15 uses, a pair of geta, 1 pp, 5 gp, 10 sp, 5 cp

Traits:
(Custom Trait subject to GM approval): Being of noble descent, Aritoki should have a masterwork daisho (Katana + wakizashi). He doesn't wear O-yoroi armor, since he's travelling, but his swords are his soul.

Instigator of Rebellion: Your rage over the political repositioning within Minkai has led you to incite rage within your compatriots. You have become adept at organizing rallies in opposition to the government. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks.

Minkai Advocate: You possess strong ties to Minkai, and spread flattering words regarding your empire. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff checks, and Bluff becomes a class skill for you. (This trait may seem a bit off since he doesn't exactly appreciate the empire as is, but he instead portrays Minkai as some sort of Utopia, that even in its worst state and condition is better than any place in the universe)

Order:
Edicts: Ronin follow their own personal code of ethics and honor. As such, their edicts are extremely flexible and subject to change. Each ronin should determine his own edicts, which should include at least three provisions. These edicts are subject to GM approval. - Aritoki's personal code will be fully developed in his background story.

Challenge: Whenever Aritoki is the target of a challenge, a smite, a quarry, or similar effect, and he issues a challenge against that character in return, he receives a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls made against the target of his challenge and a +1 dodge bonus to his AC against attacks made by the target of his challenge. These bonuses increase by +1 for every four class levels he possesses (To a maximum of +6 at 20th level).

Resolve:
Determined: As a standard action, Aritoki can spend one use of his resolve to remove the fatigued, shaken, or sickened condition. If the samurai is at least 8th level, he can alternatively remove the exhausted, frightened, nauseated, or staggered condition. If the condition has a duration longer than 1 hour or is permanent, this ability removes the condition for 1 hour, at which time the condition returns.

Resolute: Whenever the samurai is required to make a Fortitude or Will save, he can spend one use of his resolve as an immediate action to roll twice and take the better result. He must decide to use this ability before he rolls the saving throw.

Unstoppable: When Aritoki is reduced to fewer than 0 hit points but not slain, he can spend one use of his resolve as an immediate action to instantly stabilize and remain conscious. He is staggered, but he does not fall unconscious and begin dying if he takes a standard action. He does fall unconscious if he takes additional damage from any source.

Rather off topic, but...
at Icon: I'm going to guess you've played in Pathfinder Society, or you've read the books for there? Not rolling for HP and taking the average rounded up is used there. Also, do I really have to start calculating the individual weight of my items? I believe 14 [Strength] is more than enough for these, and my char isn't going to be picking up any other item from adventuring.

Are you absolutely sure you want to swap out a Mount/Animal companion (Arguably the best ability in the game), with a feat as mundane as Iron Will (Among the worse feats)? Consider also that you have the Resolute ability and will have Self Reliant soon. It just seems to me that the Ronin order already has the flavor and mechanics of having high willpower. I will let you do it, but you will be losing out. And I'm willing to negotiate exactly which creature you want as a mount (Snake, spider, elemental?).

Unless you plan on actually increasing Bluff skill, you may even use a Trait to boost Will. It would be a +1 if I remember correctly. Or a +2 in specific circumstances (Like only against Fear effects or only for spells cast by Fey creatures), something to fit with the background.

As for the custom trait, just use Rich Parents and spend 900 extra gold. You may even afford some armor or barding for your mount if you choose one!

Also, increase Reflex by 1, but otherwise everything is correct.

I would calculate weight if your armor wasn't already slowing you down. It's most important for monks, rogues and barbarians who lose abilities with weight. So, I'll do it on my document, but only when I'm not up to my neck in study.

Yes, I did play in Pathfinder Society when I could find time. Less often in the last 2 months.

Canabusis
I should have been clearer, sorry. It should be 1d8/2 +1 hit points, so 5, and also don't forget your Constitution bonus. You should only have the favored class bonus once (You took a bonus skill at level 1). Total should be 19, do you get the same?

The small saddle shouldn't weigh quite so much, 13 lb but only worth 5 gp.

Good work on getting both class skills and useful non-class skill. Remember you took Pioneer trait and chose to get a bonus to Ride as well.

I need one more skill then,

Does that cover it?

Canabusis
You get the choice at every level if you want the hit point or skill rank. Also, you gain the constitution bonus at every level, not just once.

It's also retroactive if you gain a constitution bonus, so a barbarian will gain 2 hit points per level when they rage. And the other way, when poison reduces constitution, it also reduces hit points.

Kntoran
Hit points have the same deal as I was explaining to Canabusis, the first die is maximized, then each level is half die plus one. So for rangers, 6 per level then add bonuses. I think you are over by one hit point only.

Skills are good, except you still haven't selected which skill you want your Skill Focus feat to apply to.

Please apply your bonuses from Traits, and remove the Action Points. Double check your Armor check penalty. Also, please record the gold Theaton earned. The things we discussed on page 1.

ICon's Kingmaker AP Pathfinder Create Characters - Page 11

I want to join your game too beside canabusis' game. Though I have played kingmaker before so I hesitate that I would be metagaming on this campaign. I am much familiar with Pathfinder mechanics rather than the settings.

Anyway, what's the houserules and other requirement such as starting gold or starting level?

ICon's Kingmaker AP Pathfinder Create Characters D&D / Pathfinder Archive - Page 11

Game Master says...

Ah, I see. So you reached the end at level 17 or so? I was going to concentrate more on politics and relations with Brevoy in this game. It should be quite easy to rewrite the main quest if needed.

I already have a couple of ideas that fit the theme.
Maybe instead of expanding West, I could have the kingdom expand South into the tumultuous River Kingdoms. Only if you don't want to repeat the same encounters as you already have.

Starting level is still level one, until book 2 is reached. Starting gold is rolled based on class. All the basics are in the first post.
