I suppose it depends on what exactly you are looking for. 

Might & Guile has a samurai kit that chooses one weapon type for GM (limited to 3 stars generally, at 9th level you choose a GM weapon by special ability), and has a pool of special abilities used by spending ki points. You might like it. I renamed it “Weaponmaster” though, just to be a bit less specifically Japanese.

@MarciusVetrack, I did a quick test with Greener Samourai kit on Bg2ee and eet, it seem to appear fine at character creation...

 

The archive is a mess so you have to change Setup-Samurai.tp2 to Setup-Samurai kit.tp2 and create an updated Setup-Samurai kit.exe but it seems to work, although I haven't gone any further than character creation.

You will want to remove the usually invisible ".DS_STORE" -files from the archive. It's usual sign that you have a program that scans all your folders and makes a file that is convinient for it... but everyone that hates such programs will hate all of that.
And in the macosx folders it's "._.DS_Store".

Something has been going on with Github lately... I have all my repos set to exclude such files, but recently whenever I push commits it tries to included a bunch of hidden files that are specifically in my exclusion lists! And I have to manually uncheck them. Which of course leads to the possibility of human error. It's weird and super annoying.

EDIT - I didn't notice that this mod is not hosted on Github but ust in a .zip file on the Beamdog forums. That is less ideal.

Technically it is not in Github that is responsiple, it's the macOS, or more precisely Finder -application. Just go and look for the file wiki entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store
That is if the article is to be believed.
I used a picture editing program that left similar invisible files, and so I know where those things come from.
