Alright details. So, a year or so ago I downloaded FF XIV Samurai class mod from Kanmuuru. Unfortunately, they haven't updated the mod to current patches in a long while, so I wanted to try updating it myself, but somewhere along the way I got creative and ended up making my own mod instead. The mods have some similarities but they're not the same.
The mod introduces my Samurai class (Inspired by Final Fantasy X and XIV), and progression is as follows.

Katanas Stats
Katana statsper Samurai Level (I mean that literally the stats of the katanas are tied to Samurai Level not Character Level so levels you get from multi-classing do not count towards getting the better katanas.)
Level 3-4 Weapon Enchantment 2
Level 5-8 Weapon Enchantment 3, AC + 1
Level 9-11 Weapon Enhancement 4, AC + 1, Ability + 2 Dexterity or Wisdom (Kotetsu gets the Wisdom first), additional d4 dice (total of 3d4)
Level 12 Weapon Enchantment 5, AC + 1, Ability + 2 Dexterity, Ability + 2 Wisdom, (total of 3d4)
Skills will not work if you don't have Melee, Versatile, Finesse weapon equipped. Dancer passives will not work if you equip a Shield or Armor. AOE attacks should at most only target 3 enemies.
Proficiencies
Samurai provides proficiencies with Longswords, Musical Instruments, Dexterity and Wisdom Saving Throws. Musical Proficiencies are only there for my entertainment.
Alright folks that's it for now.
Big Thanks to Kanmuuru for the class template, and stable diffusion and Gimp for the Icons.
The mod shouldn't have many incompatibility issues because all it does is create stuff from what's already in the game, unless your mods heavily change vanilla stuff in the game. Possible incompatibilities may arise from UUID clashes as well. I imagine if you still have Kanmuruu's mod for whatever reason it will also be incompatible.
I eventually plan on adding models for Samurai clothes, the katanas, and some instrument music from FFX and FFXIV. Will also be translating the mod into Spanish, and Mandarin eventually. (Mandarin with DeepSeek) Hope y'all enjoy.
