Re: [DL] martial arts question

[Imandos@aol.com]

So far, Oriental Adventures and the excellent Rokugan D20 supplements have not been mentioned.  The Rokugan books add a great deal of useful ideas for an Oriental setting, though they are not as based upon real world Oriental myths as Oriental Adventures (which gives a basic view of Rokugan and adds in the old Oriental Adventures classes).  AEG's Rokugan line is one of the lines for D20 that I buy from religiously, along with Mongoose Publishing's products and of course all the Deadlands D20 (and classic, though my group uses D20) products.  If the members of the list want me to post an overview of the Oriental books and how they might be useful to Deadlands, I can do so, or if everyone feels it is more appropriate to discuss offlist, I would be happy to respond directly to those interested.  I'll keep an eye on the posts through Saturday night to see the general consensus on whether you want a review posting to the list.  If you need the information before Sunday, email me directly with Deadlands/Oriental in the subject heading and I'll respond quickly.

Best,

Tom

I'm currently converting my posse's characters over to D20 so I can see how it's going to work and whether or not I should stay with the original system or change over to D20. One of them is a Martial Artist and the best thing I can come up with is to allow him the Monk class out of Player's handbook. What do ya'll think?
