WhatKu: the classes aren't set in stone yet, but will probably be most all of them from OA (with the exception of the shugenja).  To reflect how the different Three Kingdoms warriors have favored weapons and such, I'm thinking of simply retooling the samurai a bit so that, rather than their ancestral daisho, they can pick up any weapon and enhance it and such.  Weapons would be a little limited to the ones that actually existed in China (as per the table in the back of OA) and I'm thinking of using the Chinese weapons in From Stone to Steel too to provide a little more variety. I'll post a bit more info on the setting and the house rules, etc. when the time comes to launch it, I might even make it all into a PDF.</blockquote>
