I confess that I was leary of the Kensai at first, but playing as a maxed out Half Orc was just too easy. Wanting more of a challenge I went with a pure Kensai. I admit that at first he had some trouble, but now that he is level 13 and a Grand Master 2HS and maxed out in 2HS proficiency he is poetry in motion. He currently wields the Vorpal Blade, and with the Kensai's combat bonuses he's amazing, doing 35 to 50 damage with each hit. He also seems to get bonuses using the Vorpal as well which has a 15% chance that the target must make a save versus death with each hit. If the save fails it is instant death.
Using the Vorpal I get a heck of a lot of instant death hits, my Kensai killed Firkraag on the first hit, and the Shadow Dragon on the second hit. I was disappointed that I wasted all those defensive spells to beef up my party because they were wasted. Nobody but my Kensai even got a shot at them... Oh well, who am I to complain.
