So both /a/ and /v/ are having troll threads about this, so I figured, what the hell? Personally, my money is on the knight.

Look at how elaborate his armor is. I bet on the Samurai.

Minamoto & Hendrick:
ON THE EDGE.

*both of them crash through a window riding a 1985 Transam*

Shaka: (large, cigar-chewing Zulu warrior): THAT'S ENOUGH! YOU'RE BOTH LOOSE CANNONS! HAND IN YOUR BADGES AND SWORDS, NOW!
Minamoto: I cannot part with my wakizashi, sire. It symbolizes--
Shaka: IT SYMBOLIZES MY FOOT IN YOUR ASS IF YOU DON'T HAND IT OVER RIGHT NOW!

He's an old cynical samurai who's become disenfranchised with the dynasties and nobility

He's a young gung-ho knight trying to reconcile what he learned about law with the corrupt vassals who run it

THEY FIGHT CRIME!

Hendrick: So we're off the case. Nice job, Mina. We could've caught the guy if you hadn't tried to duel him in front of his entire gang.
Minamoto: You may go and engage in bawdy activities with your honorable mother.
Hendrick: Did you just call me a motherfucker?
Minamoto: I think I did, yes.
Hendrick: I hate when you do that.
Minamoto: I know you do.
Hendrick: Let's hit Ivan's Bar, now. I've got a couple of questions for the crazy Cossack.
Minamoto: I thought we were off this case...?
Hendrick: Of course. But he doesn't know that.

Samurai swords were folded millions of times to give them a sharper edge. They would cut through the knight's armor without any effort.

*Ivan's Bar, second floor*
Hendrick: So what else do you know?
Ivan: N-nothing else, tovarisch, I swear! In this situation, I would not lie to you, da?
Minamoto: Why, my friend, your arm looks tired.
Hendrick: Now that you mention it...
*Hendrick is holding Ivan by his leg as he hangs upside down. The floor doesn't look particularly attractive.*
Ivan: W-wait! Wait! The Szlachta family, by the docks? Every now and then, your guy runs jobs for them! By the Motherland I swear it, I do!
Minamoto: Tell us more. What happens in the night of April 7?
Ivan: Large shipment of pixie dust. From the Americas, da? A fortune it is, if they move it quickly!
Hendrick: We only have two days to prepare ourselves, Mina. Let's hit the road.
*Hendrick drops Ivan*
Ivan: HENDRIIII-----
Minamoto: Was that really necessary? He did give us good information.
Hendrick: He's a Cossack, you could drop a car on him and he wouldn't feel a thing.
Minamoto: Speaking of cars...
*Ivan flips Hendrick off, then keys his Transam*
Hendrick: Oh, that POTATO-DRINKING MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

*April 7, 11:30, in a warehouse filled with drugs and illegal weapons. Matthieu, the French brigand and this episode's villain, holds a girl hostage*
Minamoto: It is all over, fiend. Turn yourself in, that you may find a honorable death by your own hand!
Matthieu: Suicide? I don't think so, mon ami! You would not see this lovely mademoiselle harmed, would you?
Girl: Someone save me!
Matthieu: And besides...
*he whistles, and Szlachta goons surround Minamoto*
Matthieu: It appears that you are at a... disadvantage, n'est pas?
Minamoto: Indeed. But two-to-twenty are fair odds.
Matthieu: Two? But I only see---
*the Transam crashes the door, running over two of the goons. Hendrick gets down, armed with a mean two-hander, and hands Minamoto a tetsubo*
Hendrick: Sorry it took me so long.
Minamoto: Let me guess - traffic.
Hendrick: No, I had to repaint the car.
Matthieu: GET THEM!
*epic fight ensues*

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

easily the samuri. those swords are beyond anything the west can make. they can cut through three or four people. probably go straight through one guy if he was in that armor.

Straight to the best one.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork /b/tard" bullshit that's going on in the 4d20 system right now. Fa/tg/uys deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine fa/tg/uy in 4chan for 2,400,000 gp (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut Nobolis rulebooks with my fa/tg/uy.

4chan trolls spend years working on a single fa/tg/uy and provoke it up to a million times to produce the most rage-prone posters known to mankind.

Fa/tg/uys are thrice as angry as /v/irgins and thrice as grammar nazi-ing for that matter too. Anything a /v/irgin can rage over, a fa/tg/uy can rage over even harder. I'm pretty sure a fa/tg/uy could easily derail a /v/ thread with a simple single-line troll post.

Ever wonder why medieval /d/ never bothered buggering /tg/? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined fa/tg/uys and their rulebook citations of destruction. Even in World War II, /co/mrades targeted the fa/tg/uy first because their trolling power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Fa/tg/uys are simply the best trolls that the internet has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the 4d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for fa/tg/uys:

(One-Handed Exotic Poster) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Poster) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the trolling power of fa/tg/uys on the internet, don't you think?

tl;dr = Fa/tg/uys need to do more damage in 4d20, see my new stat block.
