Oriental Adventures Balanced?

[Drakron]

Well you can add to the fact some PHB classes sould not be in OA style adventures (on top of my head, the Wizards, Bard and if not mistaken the Cleric).

Shugenja vs Sorcerer

I'll take a Sorcerer any day over a Shugenja. Far better spells. There are really only two good Shugenjas.

Water shugenjas make fantastic healers, better than clerics. But they suck at absolutely everything else.

Fire Shugenjas make the best blasters. With Elemental Focus, Spellcasting Prodigy, and Superior Elemental Focus, they can have outrageous save DCs for their fire spells. Unfortunately, against a target immune to fire, they suck, even with Elemental Substitution.
