I was hoping to share a Samurai subclass that I have been working on to get some feedback/ideas/suggestions so that I can make sure I have something reasonably balanced and fun to play. Is there a way to find out what is missing so that it can be viewed publicly? I've browsed through some of the forums, but didn't really see anything I felt answered the question. I may have not searched the right phrasing, so if this has already been answered, can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks for any and all help!
I must have overlooked it, this is honestly probably the second time I have ever used/looked through forums for anything, so I'm still trying to figure it all out. Thank you and I will try to look around there to see what I can find.
Alright, so the Fighter subclasses have features at levels 3, 7, 10, 15, and 18, so your subclass will need to have features at all of (and only at) those levels.
Additionally, keep in mind that there is an official Fighter subclass called the Samurai, so you may want to consider a different name. ;)
Keep in mind you should only publish homebrew that is complete. If you're just looking for feedback you might also be interested in copying and pasting the description page to a new thread in the Homebrew & House Rules section of the forums.
Upon the direction from Stormknight I was able to find the correct thread that explains it and have now figured it out. I didn't realize you couldn't change the levels that feats were acquired, it now makes more sense. I did change the name to "The Cursed Samurai", so that it wouldn't mess with the original subclass. I feel like it is complete, but I still may be off base, this is my first attempt to come up with a subclass. My druid was killed two weeks ago so I have been playing around with some ideas on where to go next ha. I have now posted it for review, so if either of you feel like glancing over it, I would not mind bit! I very much appreciate both of you for your help in clearing this up!!

D&D Beyond FoundersThere's a sticky thread in the homebrew forum about homebrew subclasses that explains this - hope that helps!

It is a fighter subclass.
