I like how you have the Katana and other related swords (aka Wakizashi, No-Dochi, and Zanmato) rules, but I would only apply the penalties to any armor heavier then light. I mean after refreshing my memory on Japanese history, weapons and other related subjects with some helpful jump start from...

Never though that this thread would get started up again, guess I was wrong. Now that I think about it, that is true that weapons are designed top deal with there intended targets. A euro great-sword can deliever great blunt force trauma on top of having a cutting edge, that is why it is...

And here is psychic warrior expansion sheet, it is much like the psion expansion sheet but are modified for psychic warriors.

Here is the Psion Expansion Sheet, It has the psionic attack mode table, power points cost for the different level powers, and other important information for easy reference (no more looking through the book)

here is the general purpose character sheet.

Here are my new charcter sheets, they are based off of my original ones (those went corrupt when I moved then to Microsoft Works). So I had to make them over again, I did a little tweaking with them, but not enought to really show. I am currently trying to make a wizard-sorcerer/Cleric/Druid...

Well I like the 2d4 damage dice (my original proposition of 3d4 was a bit of overkill), if you roll max on the damage roll it still comes out to 8. I see no problem with that, besides the better average there is no real damage bonus not including any of the enhancements and stuff (well I gues...

True, the Katana can break too, but that can be said for other swords too. So keep the Katana at 1d10 damage dice, just increase the crit to 18-20/x2 and that would be fine, and count it as having the holded steel blade enhancement, that works for me. And make the No-Datchi the Japanese...

Why dont we try and keep this thread on the topic, it kinda keeps gettin side tracked, a lot. Threads kinda get closed that way beside for other obvious reason, like the Shadowrun D20 in the D20 Modern forum. Okay now back to the real subject of this thread, Japanese swords in D&D. Well who...

This thread has been derailed many times, then got back on topic. This has been quite amusing, the insults being handed out by the hand full. Really quite amusing, but how about we keep the insults to a minimum, it is quite diminishing of are quite intelligent posters here. Anyways to move...

Well another reason is because the Japanese had a Isolationist govornment for the longets time. How can others learn from another country if they dont allow them to enter there borders. I am sure some of the black smiths taught there trade to outsides, but not enough make a difference on the...

I dont know why people think the steel in Japan was not of high quality back then. Sure there where some poor quality steel back then in japan, but that can be said for some steel in europe too. It all depends on the person who made the steel, and how experienced the said person is. I am no...

Well I have my own veiw on how the Katana should be, like how you have your own. I dont under stand why just about every body think Katanas are battle field swords. They are a dueling and show weapon, not a battle field weapon like I said in the beginning of this thread. Actual the Battle...

I find that D&D has not done to well with some of the Japanes weapons more specifically the swords like the Katana. I more of want to clear things up then change things, but the Katana definitaly needs to be reworked. The main reason I say this is because the Katana is not a battle sword, it...

God damnit bebo, you killed my post, if I ever make another thread you better not post on it. Because if you do I'll have to do something completely out of my nature, and you'll not like it.
