FEAT: SWORD MAIDEN

This is a conversion of a 3e prestige class but I didn’t feel there was enough here to make it an archetype. It is also a common trope in Anime. SWORD MAIDEN Harnessing ki energy is an essential ability for many characters in Oriental Adventures. For sword maidens, the harnessing of ki allows – along with […]

FEAT: IAIJUTSU MASTER

This is a conversion of a 3e prestige class but I didnt feel there was enougth here to make it an archetype but still allow someone to really focus on iaijustsu if they wanted. IAIJUTSU MASTER Iaijutsu is the martial art of drawing a weapon (almost always a katana) and attacking with it in the […]

YOKAI

Historically, there isn’t always a big difference between a yokai, kami or oni but for the sake of D&D, a new category of neutral leaning fey are all yokai in the lands of Oriental Adventures. YOKAI Yokai are any creatures that originate beyond the mortal realm. All kami and oni are yokai but not all […]

The Divine Heir and the Jade Regent

The Emperor is dead, his family murdered by a daring band of bakemono (goblins). As retainers of the Divine Family you are disgraced as you failed in your duty to protect them. Before committing seppuku (ritual suicide) you will find these monsters and punish them. They will join you in Jigoku (hell) if it’s the […]

BACKGROUND: YAKUZA

This is a thematic feat for the rogue class. It fits in with the 1e Oriental Adventures description of a yakuza.

I shamelessly stole from Heroes of the Orient for this class. YAKUZA The yakuza are many […]
