It's AEG's supplement to Wizards' Oriental Adventures, basically correcting/altering/updating the material in the latter book to better reflect the Rokugan setting as it appeared in the original Legend of the Five Rings roleplaying game - though many fans of that game (which has two editions and is shortly to receive a third, as AEG has abandoned their d20 version) will dispute the accuracy of the conversion.Anyway, I like Rokugan a lot, and I think the inkyo is excellent for a more mystical and less martial version of the monk - very nearly a necessity for a comprehensive attempt at an Asian campaign - but I'll give you fair warning: AEG's design team set off on their own direction with their d20 Legend of the Five Rings material, paying little attention to the rest of the d20 community; their concern is clearly much more for converting Rokugan than for making their products truly relevant to the rest of the market. For example, they never undertook a "3.5" revision, even as a web enhancement.Rokugan introduced a mystical class of feats called kiho feats, which are the inkyo's bread and butter. Instead of the monk's catalogue of martial abilities, the inkyo receives bonus kiho feats, which are as likely to have non-combat applications as to be directly useful in a fight. Worth checking out if you can acquire a copy somehow.</blockquote>
