[QUOTE="Dark Nemesis, post: 1814566, member: 11714"] Hey everyone! Please bear with me; I am still trying to juggle school and my free time activities. Barring this recent trouble with the boards being down, I usually am online everyday, so I will answer your questions. It may not be within minutes after you post them, but I will answer them! Okay then, back to it! [u]Kangaxx[/u]: Just to keep things consistent, go with the 3.0 Ranger. It has the fighter progression for BAB, good Fort save progression, poor Reflex and Will progression, the Track feat at 1st level, and the 1st favored enemy at 1st. HD is d10, and skills are at 4 + Int. [u]Li Shenron[/u]: Go with the fighter/shugenja combo if you’re more comfortable with it. I was merely offering the other as an alternative. Yes, Iajutsu focus is still a skill in Rokugan. You may use PHB feats, as well as feats from the Rokugan and OA books. Please forgive me for the previous confusion. Each family has a favored class, a different starting honor, and a skill that becomes a class skill for them. The starting class listed below is in place of the set Diplomacy class skill listed in the OA book. The Doji’s favored class is Courtier, their starting honor is 3, and their class skill is Knowledge (etiquette). The Daidoji’s favored class is fighter, their starting honor is 2, and their class skill is Hide. The Asahina’s favored class is Shugenja, their starting honor is 3, and their class skill is Knowledge (Shintao). The Kakita’s favored classes are either samurai or courtier, their starting honor is 3, and their class skill is either Iajutsu focus or Perform. The Yasuki’s favored class is fighter, their starting honor is 2, and their class skill is Battle. If a woman from a higher caste marries into another, she is considered to be part of that family. Her original family might “check up” on their relative, but for all intents and purposes she is no longer part of that family. About your question regarding the ancestral daisho: See below. Finally, your updated character! Looks good. I gave you the information regarding each of the vassal families above, so just make the necessary changes depending on the family that you chose. As far as gear, you get the starting gold listed for your level from the DMG. Weapons and armor may come from either OA, or Rokugan, and you may only use the magic items listed in the OA book. Your background looks okay for the most part, but I do see a few minor difficulties. Would you please send me an email ( [email]darknemesis6878@cs.com[/email] ) and we’ll get them worked out. [u]Valeren[/u]: Sent you an email regarding your questions. [u]Ankh-Morpork Guard[/u]: Isawa Renshi looks good! Still need a background for your character. As far as the numbers go, Kitsu Taiko as an ancestor is 7 points, not 6. See below about hit points. [u]All[/u]: The ancestral daisho: If you’re taking samurai classes, then you’ve probably noticed that you need to sacrifice a certain number to experience points to increase the weapon bonus. For a +1, it’s 80. +2 is 320. +3 is 720. +4 is 1280. I’ll consider the first level of experience already spent, so your ancestral weapon is now considered to be +1. Since we’re just starting the game, each person only has 1 more experience point than what they needed to make their level (so, for example, Li Shenron has 21,001 XP for a 7th level character). You have a choice about raising your daisho to +2; you can either spend 3 building points to make it automatically a +2, or you can wait until your character gains the necessary experience. Hit points: Go with maximum hit points at first level and 80% after that, rounding up. I’m afraid there was a typo in the opening post: the starting year is 1160, well after the Scorpion’s reinstatement as a clan. As far as feats go, you may choose feats from the PHB, the OA book, or the Rokugan book. Please forgive my earlier confusion in that respect. :heh: Please use the base classes from the Rokugan book. Any prestige classes from the Rokugan book will be allowed; any prestige classes from the OA book or the Clan secrets book must be pre-approved. No, you don’t need an ancestor feat if you purchase an ancestor. Okay! I think I just about got everything, but if I missed anything, feel free to throw blunt and heavy objects. :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
