@mikeyyaylan - You will need to subscribe to WotC Katana Pack Reloaded, WotC Ballistic Shields and Dual Wield Melee. However, you should subscribe to True Primary Secondaries instead. Don't subscribe to New Promotion Screen by Default.

is it recommended to get the requirements of the required class mod?

is there a way to remove the progressive upgrades? there are sometimes perks id like to skip over for reasons like technical issues. EG: Templars channel perk causes a crash for me if im using any ammo types, vanilla ammo types included.

true though ill admit its been about a year sense i played i didnt see blade master as that is a squadie ability and you dont have those
BoxingBud 24 Mar, 2024 @ 9:22am 
(excluding some that require prereqs like blade storm needing sword mastery)
BoxingBud 24 Mar, 2024 @ 9:21am 
A good example is the screen shot, that Cybernetic Soldier there happened to pic all of the samurai skills, but he could have easily chosen any other on that list when he reached that level. Past that you can buy skills with xcom points ect if you want to top them up a bit.

Musashi rpg overhaul means that there are no classes, everyone starts the same and has every single skill at it's required level, available. So if you're a level 3 soldier you can pick Vigilance and enter overwatch at the end of your movement only turn, pick "aid protocol" and said character can also use that skill when equipped with a gremlin. This mod will take the "class" of samurai and make it skills anyone can chose. You won't get a "samurai" class.

How can i be sure this is working? Ive promoted maye 10 rookies and no samurais yet
Drath 30 Mar, 2023 @ 9:52pm 
i cant seem to take bladestorm as i dont see blade master anywhere please advice
Mustang0524 8 Mar, 2023 @ 6:06am 
Would love to see the other Samurai skill trees added to RPGO as well as Shinigami fixed!
lemenade 13 Jun, 2022 @ 10:17am 
Be advised to all who play LWOTC and RPGO, the samurai class seems to be broken. Shingami skill isn't visible so it can't be activated, and only the samurai perk tree is available. I can't figure out how to fix. So just something to keep an eye on.

Also for some reason it crashes with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2079693637 using a samurai with empty secondary. They do not get a headshot action with rend the lost either but no crash
Julio 30 Jan, 2022 @ 2:19am 
for some reason the shinigami doesn't work with LWOTC
Vital 22 Aug, 2021 @ 7:49pm 
For some reason this class doesn't show up as a choice when I promote someone to soldier.
Atta 6 Mar, 2021 @ 2:57pm 
Sorry, not the samurai skills but the katana weapons. They don't seem to count as a "melee weapon" for a few of the ranger skills.
Atta 6 Mar, 2021 @ 2:55pm 
Nevermind, i fixed it by starting a new game with the mods correctly loaded. However i do notice (unless intentional) that the Ranger skills in RPGO don't work with the Samurai skills (namely things like blademaster and bladestorm).
Atta 6 Mar, 2021 @ 10:42am 
I keep getting an issue where when you have the samurai class mod active with this, rookies can still show up as the default samurai as if RPGO didn't exist, causing it to not give any prompts for selecting specialisations.
Gwazi Magnum 8 Feb, 2021 @ 12:54pm 
Does this mod have the same pre-reqs that the Samurai Class mod itself has (Like Dual-Wield Melee, or the Katana pack) or are those only needed if using the Samurai without RPGO?
Sinapus 6 Dec, 2020 @ 12:10pm 
Setup some characters as melee builds. They are devastating, though of course limited to melee range so that sort of balances things.

Also is there a way to remove the energy cost for these skills? Config file doesn't have a CD
Kyosuke Dei Knives 봄 눈 12 Sep, 2020 @ 5:26pm 
is there a way to when you install these class mods, your current soldiers can use them right away? Or they have to be new recruit?
Musashi  [author] 30 Apr, 2020 @ 12:36pm 
If you use plugin mod those classes won’t show up as separate classes. There skill trees are added to the soldier class. That’s the way plugin work. If you want the classes as a separate class beside the rpgo soldier class don’t use the plugins.
Paint Friend 30 Apr, 2020 @ 10:38am 
I'm having an issue with this and many other RPGO class mods, but the game doesn't seem to recognize that they're loaded in or something. I've installed the original class mods, but the only things my rookies can upgrade to are the Soldier, Jedi, and Stormwalker classes. I downloaded "remove any class" and those three are the only ones that show up as well. Any idea what the issue is?
endersblade 18 Apr, 2020 @ 6:30pm 
I see this was updated today, but there are no update notes. What changed?
NightWolf2021 17 Mar, 2020 @ 6:06pm 
@musashi great mod I love it . Im just having issues with bladestorm. Its greyed out and I cant select it. I tried using with and with and without RPGO. Is it fixable or should I chalk it up?
Dr. Quackers M.D. 12 Mar, 2020 @ 9:02pm 
Cool thx
Musashi  [author] 12 Mar, 2020 @ 8:31pm

Disable npsbd if you play with rpgo. Rpgo has its own version of it that is used
Dr. Quackers M.D. 12 Mar, 2020 @ 6:57pm 
How are you suppose to use these when RPGO conflicts with new promotion screen which is needed for the original class mod. Should I ignore the New promotion conflict warning?
tommyc434 25 Nov, 2019 @ 6:32pm 
@Musashi - not sure if anyone else has reported this, but for me, it seems like Whirlwind Strike always defaults to the primary weapon, even if it's not a melee weapon. So what happens is if my Samurai is carrying a gun, the ability moves him adjacent to the target, but instead of slicing with the secondary sword, he takes 2 point blank shots. I'm sure this wasn't an issue in the original class since you wouldn't mix and match like in RPGO. Is this fixable?

Thank you for both these great mods by the way.
Scroller 13 Nov, 2019 @ 11:55am 
@Musashi - As far as I can tell, Way of the Samurai is now working. I have seen the extra damage list several times and it does seem to be applied.
Scroller 27 Oct, 2019 @ 5:38am 
@Musashi - Much appreciated.
Musashi  [author] 26 Oct, 2019 @ 2:55am 
Will have a look at the issue, after next week I have time again.
El Psy Congroo 25 Oct, 2019 @ 7:13pm 
Yup WotS would be HUGE if the +3 worked, even a tiered or less potent version would be sweet as long as it works. There's already a trait for +10 to melee. Making it redundant.
Scroller 23 Oct, 2019 @ 6:09am 
Do we know if the damage bonus from Way of the Samurai is fixable or not? If not, does it really serve a purpose as there are other traits that add AIM bonuses?
NergalsTurban 22 Oct, 2019 @ 10:00pm 
I am unable to access any of the specialization pack perks, only the base perks. In addition when playing without RPGO, all of your regular class mods don't show up either by randomized class assignment or through the GTS.
Gahnfaust 5 Oct, 2019 @ 5:04am 
Yeah i have the same question as Jide Aurelius
Jide Aurelius 8 Aug, 2019 @ 11:38am 
Is it possible to run a viable samurai right now or is it too broken? It seems like an amazing class though!
JugiBugi 20 Jul, 2019 @ 7:29am 
Ok thx for telling us. So it is okay to pick the perk for the future fix i suppose?
Musashi  [author] 20 Jul, 2019 @ 5:51am 
Thats broken atm
JugiBugi 20 Jul, 2019 @ 5:05am 
Thx for a great mod! But i can also confirm way of the samurai damage bonus not working(aim does work) I tried to change mod load order in the alternate launcher so that rpgo overhauls loads always first, not sure though if it changes anything.
Zaeryn Carine 12 Jul, 2019 @ 8:17pm 
Way of the Samurai is providing the increased Aim but not the bonus Melee damage. When using the class on its own WotS provides both bonuses.
Burty1974 29 Mar, 2019 @ 5:29pm 
Yes I am.
Holokom 16 Jan, 2019 @ 2:23pm 
i somehow cant find the samurai anymore after adding a couple of your rpg mods..i only get shinobis.
Musashi  [author] 29 Dec, 2018 @ 5:12am 
Are you sure you are playing with rpgo?
Burty1974 28 Dec, 2018 @ 8:17pm 
I also can't find Kenjutsu
Burty1974 28 Dec, 2018 @ 8:08pm 
So I want bladestorm but it says I need blademaster, but I'm not finding blademaster anywhere.
Musashi  [author] 16 Dec, 2018 @ 9:38pm 
You need to rebuild you soldiers when you add specs mod campaign. Refer to the rpgo full feature list page for a more infos.
Aaewen 16 Dec, 2018 @ 9:22pm 
Is this safe to add mid game? Because I just added a few Specialization (this one, Valkyrie, Spec Ops, etc...) and Samurai shows up only to replace Advent officer line (but still with all Advent skills). No other specilization shows up.

d_valroth 12 Oct, 2018 @ 5:52pm 
I feel like Yamabushi Heritage should really require Shinigami. It stands out as kinda the best possible lieutenant pick for anyone who is going to be anywhere near combat. Who doesn't want 15 def, +1 armor, and auto healing? Alternatively, perhaps it needs to be matched up with better perks to make it a harder choice. Lieutenant just seems like a very lackluster rank for most specializations, which is what makes YH so darn appealing.
B0atsMcG0ats 4 Sep, 2018 @ 9:43pm 
@twinsenvr4
There's a mod out that adds new soldier commands (might even be called that, iirc) including RebuildSelectedSoldierClass, that should sort this out without forcing a soldier into any specific class.
