Is there a d20 supplement for roleplaying in medieval-mythical India? This seems to be the one setting/genre that nobody covers. I'm looking for something that would include both historical and legendary source material, sort of like an "Oriental Adventures" with a Hindu-Indian slant.
I have a Weapons & Armor guide for the Palladium RPG. There are some cool, exotic-looking weapons and armor from medieval India. Many of these weapons are similar in style and function to those used by Japanese ninja, such as...
katar "punch dagger"
bich'hua "scorpion tail" knife (with a loop hilt; looks like something a Klingon would wield)
bagh nakh "tiger claws" (these are very ninja-looking)
Other classic medieval Hindu-Indian weapons include the pata "gauntlet-sword" and the naga war axe.
Medieval Hindu-Indian armor tends to be lighter and more stylish than its European counterpart. The chainmails and lamellars especially are finely made.
While I'm sure a medieval-mythical India setting would have fighters, clerics, and rogues, what else would they have? For example, what variation could replace the druid and the ranger? The paladin and the bard?
I have the original D&D Deities and Demi-gods book, so I have access to information on the Hindu-Indian patheon. But other than that and my Palladium Weapons & Armor guide, I don't have any other source material.
