Samurai honor point system (Basted from the ideas from Dragon #299).
The honor point system is an optional means by which the players and DM can keep track of their characters¡¦ adherence to there honor. Basically, any time a samurai commits certain acts, that samurai gains or loses honor points based on whether the actions upheld the code of the samurai. This contributes to the character¡¦s honor score, a number that provides a bonus or penalty to certain skill checks.
Honor points are accumulated in six categories of honor: Ancestral weapon, Courage, Courtesy, Defense, Justice, and Loyalty. Samurai can never gain more honor points than their character level in any one category. Therefore, a 10th-level samurai cannot have more than 60 honor points.
The samurai¡¦s honor score is equal to his total honor points divided by six. The samurai gains a bonus to Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, Perform, Profession, and Sense Motive skill checks equal to his honor score. Dishonored samurai, those who slide into negative honor, receive a corresponding penalty to Diplomacy, gather Information, Perform, Profession and sense Motive skill checks, but they gain a bonus to Intimidate skill checks equal to their honor scores. Note that to gain this bonus or penalty, the NPCs in question must know of the samurai¡¦s reputation.
Characters awarded the title of samurai start with 1 honor in each category. The samurai then gains and loses honor for certain actions. Most of these bonuses and penalties require witnesses. This is why bards are valuable to samurai. Honor cannot be awarded if no one is aware of the heroic feat. Conversely, dark deeds might be hidden from the public.
Ancestral weapons: The most powerful of honor the one that has been in your family for generations you ancestral weapons.
You keep this honor in this category at full if you have your ancestral weapons you lose double your level in honor points from this category if you lose any of your Ancestral Weapons.
Courage: Samurai must know when to choose the more difficult path. They must be ready to make sacrifices in order to serve the ideals of a higher order. Courage doesn¡¦t mean stupidity, but it is the primary impetus to spur a samurai into action.
See the dragon mag for this and the other ones that a samurai uses.

Bracers of Wands
Arcane spellcasters typically rely on magic items like bracers of armor to increase their ability to resist attacks. The invention of the bracer of wands has changed that.
Bracers of wands are magic leather armbands that extend from wrist to elbow. On the undersides, leather belts bind them onto the wearer¡¦s arm, while the back of each bracer holds three thin leather tubes, each just big enough to hold a standard magic wand.
Bracers of wands can be ¡§attuned¡¨ to different wands. Immediately after being placed in one of the slots of the bracers, a charge is harmlessly drained from the wand. The wand is then attuned to the slot and remains so until removed. Wands in a bracer slot can be used without the need to draw them and without the need to hold the wand in a hand.
Wands can be removed and replaced from their slots in bracers of wands but each time a wand is attuned to a slot on a bracer it loses another charge. Both bracers must be worn for the bracers of wands to function.
Wands in the bracers of wands can be attacked and broken, and characters using the bracers can be disarmed of wands. In such cases, treat the wands as though they were held by the wearer.
The bracers of wands do not grant a character the ability to use a wand if the character is not normally able to do so. Rogues attempting to use a wand in bracers of wands with their Use Magic Device skill must make a skill check to use the bracers (DC 20) and then make a second check to use the wand.

Samurai honor point system (Basted from the ideas from Dragon #299).
The honor point system is an optional means by which the players and DM can keep track of their characters¡¦ adherence to there honor. Basically, any time a samurai commits certain acts, that samurai gains or loses honor points based on whether the actions upheld the code of the samurai. This contributes to the character¡¦s honor score, a number that provides a bonus or penalty to certain skill checks.
Honor points are accumulated in six categories of honor: Ancestral weapon, Courage, Courtesy, Defense, Justice, and Loyalty. Samurai can never gain more honor points than their character level in any one category. Therefore, a 10th-level samurai cannot have more than 60 honor points.
The samurai¡¦s honor score is equal to his total honor points divided by six. The samurai gains a bonus to Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, Perform, Profession, and Sense Motive skill checks equal to his honor score. Dishonored samurai, those who slide into negative honor, receive a corresponding penalty to Diplomacy, gather Information, Perform, Profession and sense Motive skill checks, but they gain a bonus to Intimidate skill checks equal to their honor scores. Note that to gain this bonus or penalty, the NPCs in question must know of the samurai¡¦s reputation.
Characters awarded the title of samurai start with 1 honor in each category. The samurai then gains and loses honor for certain actions. Most of these bonuses and penalties require witnesses. This is why bards are valuable to samurai. Honor cannot be awarded if no one is aware of the heroic feat. Conversely, dark deeds might be hidden from the public.
Ancestral weapons: The most powerful of honor the one that has been in your family for generations you ancestral weapons.
You keep this honor in this category at full if you have your ancestral weapons you lose double your level in honor points from this category if you lose any of your Ancestral Weapons.
Courage: Samurai must know when to choose the more difficult path. They must be ready to make sacrifices in order to serve the ideals of a higher order. Courage doesn¡¦t mean stupidity, but it is the primary impetus to spur a samurai into action.
See the dragon mag for this and the other ones that a samurai uses.

Bracers of Wands
Arcane spellcasters typically rely on magic items like bracers of armor to increase their ability to resist attacks. The invention of the bracer of wands has changed that.
Bracers of wands are magic leather armbands that extend from wrist to elbow. On the undersides, leather belts bind them onto the wearer¡¦s arm, while the back of each bracer holds three thin leather tubes, each just big enough to hold a standard magic wand.
Bracers of wands can be ¡§attuned¡¨ to different wands. Immediately after being placed in one of the slots of the bracers, a charge is harmlessly drained from the wand. The wand is then attuned to the slot and remains so until removed. Wands in a bracer slot can be used without the need to draw them and without the need to hold the wand in a hand.
Wands can be removed and replaced from their slots in bracers of wands but each time a wand is attuned to a slot on a bracer it loses another charge. Both bracers must be worn for the bracers of wands to function.
Wands in the bracers of wands can be attacked and broken, and characters using the bracers can be disarmed of wands. In such cases, treat the wands as though they were held by the wearer.
The bracers of wands do not grant a character the ability to use a wand if the character is not normally able to do so. Rogues attempting to use a wand in bracers of wands with their Use Magic Device skill must make a skill check to use the bracers (DC 20) and then make a second check to use the wand.
