Oooh goodie!

Stealth is a moot point in Splint. Unless of course, you make a special splint just for the class.

Ranger? Why Ranger? Why not more of a Paladin type kit, more along the Iquisitor... Take away all spell abilities. Make them immune to fear like the Cavalier. Being immune to fear and morale failure would suit the class.

What are the rules and restrictions on dual wielding, single, and two handed weapon styles? Samurai are expected to be masters of all weapons. I don't think there will be enough skill points to cover all those bases. Perhaps a max of mastery level in all Samurai approved weapons to encourage a better spread of points.

What of the Samurai's nearly supernatural speed? They attacked with a nearly inhuman fury... Flashing weapons that often moved faster then the eye could follow, unleashing a fury of blows that few enemies could hope to defend against. Instead of usual fighter APR, perhaps Samurai could gain more APR per level based on single or two handed weapon styles, with say, a cap of 5 APR when attacking single handed or two handed. Perhaps... Perhaps give them Improved Haste once per day for every 10 levels as a special ability.

Something like a Barbarian or Berserker type Rage is needed here for moments of supreme bloodlust, but, I can't think of what it should be exactly. Some sort of Righteous Fury. For things that really offend them and their Honour.

The only hard part is figuring out how Gorion raised a Samurai in Candlekeep.
