Question said:Cha mod to extra damage dice is not absurd. What are you thinking, that the iajutsu master will have a +10 cha mod?
Even with a +3 mod, you can easily get +15 by mid levels. Nothing to be sneezed at.
CC iatjutsu focus isnt going to be useful, and i cant really think of wizards, etc taking this. Its clearly a fighter type skill and you need to focus on it to do any good.
Wizards, no. Espeially since there are no wizards in Rokugan. It's mainly for samurai, fighter, berserkers, rogues, ninja, maybe sohei. But not just for fighters
Starting combat within melee range of an enemy is just about impossible, unless you are using high level invisibility spells constantly, and none of the enemies you are fighting can stop it.
Or you play in an oriental setting, where you not run around in dank caves like a madman, hacking at monsters, but have adventures in cities and other civilized areas.
If only I remember where that part about "Why is that samurai sneak attacking" was in. I think it was a sidebar, but I'm not sure. It might be in one of the Rokugan d20 books, but I don't feel like looking through 2 dozen books right now.
