Message: <blockquote data-quote="ZeshinX" data-source="post: 8026419" data-attributes="member: 6793656">I do miss the 1e OA classes, though I find they all fit perfectly well into the existing 5e classes as subclasses, though perhaps with some form of callback to at least one feature the original OA class contained (since all OA classes had a 'kiai' power of some kind).*Note:  I'm using the spelling of how the 1e class appeared in the 1e OA book (whether they are correct or not)OA Barbarian:  Well...works without doing much at all.Bushi:  Fighter subclassKensai:  I find this works best, flavour-wise, as a Monk subclass (as shown in XGE)Samurai:  Fighter subclass works best (the XGE version I'm ambivalent about, but it does work)Monk:  Already very well represented in 5e.Ninja:  The Rogue Assassin and Monk Way of Shadow cover this pretty well.Shukenja: Very clearly a cleric subclass, but also could feel a bit Sorcerer Divine Soul at times.Sohei:  This could easily fit as a cleric, monk or even fighter subclass.  I'd try it as a Fighter subclass first, using the Eldritch Knight as a template...swap out the arcane casting with divine (to reflect its 1e half-caster style) and tinker with the subclass abilities to reflect a more defensive/protection set of abilitiesWu Jen:  A wizard or sorcerer subclass (or one for either, though at first blush, it strikes me as a better fit for sorcerer...or perhaps even warlock would be better)Yakuza:  Rogue, all the way.</blockquote>
