My Asian d20 system

[Sheng Long Gradilla]

I have updated the documents of my rules.

I would like some feedback on it.

This contains mostly japanese culture things at the moment, but will expand to chinese, mongolian, indian and others if I get the help from people who knows about those cultures.

I also need help on pointing out things that might need improvement or clarification, and also with ideas on finishing some stuff. The Equipment document is far from complete, so a list of other asian weapons you know will be appreciated.

With the current documents, I know some stuff is unexplained or missing, so I will be here trying to clarify everything you ask.

Pointing out some differences with the standard rulesets:
- There are no races (at the moment, but may add some soon). The families work much like races.
- Double-weapons are of two types: Those you can use as two weapons simultaneously (called double weapons along the documents), and those of which you can use only one head at a time (called Dual-Headed along the documents). Dual-Headed weapons have their own rules, while double weapons use the rules for two-weapon fighting.

I am including the documents here as an attachment.

Thanks for your time and help

There's not much there that I can see. Why not just post the rules that are significant variants, and drop the ability rules and what not.

If I may give some advice, don't call it "asian" if its just "Japanese". Japan is not representative of Asian culture as a whole. Implying that it is is insulting. (I'm not mad at you, its an honest mistake.)

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

As I said, I intend to include the other asian cultures, but that will take some time. The information I have more readily available is from japanese, but I am looking for info on others too, and I have already included some things from cultures other than japanese.

If you take a close look at the Animal Companions section in the Families document, you will see large and huge elephants in the alternate companion list, even when there is no family with an elephant animal companion yet. I think elephants are more from India than Japan.

Also, the katar is an Indian weapon, and you will find it in the Equipment document. I think the sai comes from China as well. Everything will come slowly.

And thanks for reading the documents and commenting on them
