As somewhat of a martial artist myself (more based on unarmed combat, admittingly), I feel two weapons don't always add to your 'defence.' If you intend to attack with both, you usually have to time yourself well. If you don't, your other sword will just be in the way and you won't get any good...

The Iaijutsu focus skill is in Oriental Adventures, a 3.0 book. It's been there for a while man ;)

Well, I'll say it. Flumphs are teh own ^^

Skills, sure. But a rogue's feats shouldn't need be built around stealing. Their class abilities (and skills) should suffice to make them deadly in their skills, AND leave them free with their feats. Same goes for the Artificer (although I've never seen the class).

Well, I'd be impossibly silly if I wouldn't notice the striking resemblance to Rokugan's Courtier class. Overall interesting class although half of the abilities remind me of similiar ability the courtier class recieves. Sadly though, this class is much less powerful without the courtier...

Definitions? For the weapons? If you're meaning stats, you can find them in the complete exotic arms guide from AEG. In fact, one probably only needs the Rokugan CS, or even just the Oriental Adventures book. If you want pictures, I do believe that google-ing it will do just fine ^^ True, the...

I was thinking of a bump, but seeing as the game would likely not get any more attention, I decided not to. Not untill I have more material. And here it is: New Skill: Sailing [Wis, Trained only] You are skilled in the workings of ships like the Kobune. You know what roles need filling and can...

Well, that's interesting... over a 100 views, but not a single comment, save my two bumps... fancy that

*insert generic bumping sound* *Bump*

Well, this topic has been brought up more times than I can count on both hands, but D&D and other d20 systems are progressive systems and constantly evolve. That is the nature of such a widespread system. Now, to get to the point. I run a heavily modified d20 Legend of the Five Rings (Rokugan)...

Personally, I seriously once considered running a game where the players only had partial actions. It was going to be a game played only by rogue multiclasses, meaning they didn't have iterative attacks (two were though dual-wielding). I didn't pursue this idea, as I was dissuaded by a pal of...

Sorry Parker, but despite how epic that iaijutsu focused character looks, he can't even come close. Unless the DM decides to allow the character to be purposly broken and makes a funky house rule, unless he does that, the maximum extra damage you can get is +9d6 with a roll of 50+. WotC probably...

Personally, I still make cross-class skills cost 2 points as normal. But on the other hand, I let each player select 3 skills (and one determined by his family). These 3(4) skills are always considered class skills for him, and if he ever takes a level of a class where these skills are class...

I agree mostly with what people are saying here, although I don't really think there's one stat that's generally more important than another. Of course don't misunderstand me when I say "one generally more important" as there are stats that work better for each class (fx. a paladin's cha score...

Well, I'll stick to using Rokugan's Armor focus. It gives you a straight +2 dodge bonus to AC. Armor specialization then works pretty well, lowering ACPs by -4 (preq. armor focus with the armor). It's always as fun to put a high-dex Crab opponent with armor focus and armor specialization...
