[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 2498050, member: 959"] So far, I like it! As to not having a "Setting", I am thinking of using Legend of the Five Rings setting but Iron Heroes rules. The new 3rd edition AEG L5R just left me cold, but using these rules will be interesting. With Iron Heroes rules, Samurai is just a title, like Duke or Baron. They would actually use all of the classes here so you are not sure if that Crab blocking your path is a Armiger, Berzerker, Weaponmaster (Tetsubo) or just a Man-at-arms. I will add a new trait: Clan as well as Clan feats. The Arcanist will require a little work to change it into a Shukenja, but changing the four schools to the four elements should be easy. I do think a Martial Artist can be made from the Weapon Master. I would make most Monks weaponmansters, retired from another class or use the Man-at-arms to represent their unpredictability. Also, I think Martial Arts Mastery feats can be made for each type of martial art, Blood and Fists from RPG Objects should help with that. The Courtier does present a problem, maybe a variant Hunter that could use his Tactics feats in court and change his woodland bonuses to Courtly Senses. The Thief does have best access to Social feats and has some very good defensive abilities. Other variant ideas would be a Unicorn Mounted Harrier and a Crab Kaiu Armiger who is a master at building fortifications. [/QUOTE]
