Message: <blockquote data-quote="argo" data-source="post: 1880741" data-attributes="member: 5752">The shugenja is closer to a divine sorcorer than anything else: 1/2 BAB, spontaneous casting and the sorcorer spells per day.  It is true that they have healing spells but they also have some good blast spells.  In the Rokugan setting they are the default spellcasters in the empire, shamans and wu-jen are oddities.  Shugenja also have a strong elemental focus and their spell list is defined by Air, Earth, Water, Fire and Void spells.  A shugenja specalizes in one element and is barred from using spells of his opposing element.  The arcane/divine schism is downplayed in OA, elements and spirits are the focus instead. The Shaman is the OA class that is closest in appearance to a Druid although you most certainly could not use the druid class progression as a refrence for it.  Matter of fact it is probably never a good idea to say "you could use class ___  as a refrence for class _____" because the purpose of most base classes is usually to be rather different from most other base classes.As to your last question, you said it yourself the DM can do what he wants.  If he feels that a shugenja is ok in Eberon then a shugenja is ok in Eberon.Hope that helps.</blockquote>
