[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3274070, member: 40749"] Ok, will do. It was good to re-examine it, though. Yeah, that was my take on it. In the first draft, the Crimson Sakura couldn't use armour at all, but I felt that undermined the Kimono stuff. Cool. :) Kiss of the Dragon? That's.... fairly appropriate. I was kind of leery of introducing the full death attack mechanic, which is why it was a suggestion. As for the timing of the ability, you can (just) qualify at 6th level, topping out the class at 15th. Perhaps granting a death attack early in the class, but having an improved version for the Kiss of the Dragon (or quicker execution). That's really cool, thanks for the suggestion! On assassins that was my thought after posting it up. Poison Use, yes that is true. Ninjas do receive this ability. I included it for those who don't otherwise get the ability (like rogues, f'rinstance). I didn't think of the Discrete magic (good catch, though), as I was mainly thinking of concealed weapons. Perhaps some kind of Skill Mastery with Sleight of Hand, Bluff, and something else (coupled with a level based competence bonus)? I didn't include the Performances because I couldn't immediately think of any thematic performances appropriate for the class. I could just keep the normal abilities, though. The other thing being I didn't want too many abilities right away. It's easier to add than to take away once you've written something (and gotten kinda attached ;). ) Yeah, I would like some more commentary, but then, it took a while for your Geisha to take off, so I can be patient in that regard. There's a lot of posters with a great sense of balance here, which is one reason I keep coming back. Thanks for taking the time to give me a hand and keeping the design in line with your expectations. Will check back on it later.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
