Re: [DL] Samurai

In the game we finished recently the Marshall had found some rules online about Samurai as martial artists. Basically it added a Chi' power to use Chi powers with swords. If I recall correctly, I did not play the samurai, It took 2 actions to cast and cost 1 or 2 points and then 1 point each round to maintain.

I agree that there weren't any special rules for Samurai -
but I was sure that Great Maze box set included a  group of
Samurai enforcers (The Seven?) who served Kang/Iron Dragon.
I'm pretty sure there were stats for them too.  Not got my
books with me to confirm or provide page numbers - sorry.

Are there rules for Samurai in the classic Deadlands

rule set?



After playing a lot of Samurai Western on the old

Playstation 2, one

of my posse member was asking me about it. I know they are in the
GRW, but couldn't find anything in any of my books. Just curious
now...


Samurai are Japanese, correct? Well, even if I'm wrong,

the Deadlands

Classic rules only had references of any size to Chinese

culture (and

fighting technique), and that was in the Great Maze boxed set,
supplanted by Hexarcana later.  No Samurai in either.

But, as was mentioned, if you only need the combat side of

it, there

are expanded rules for sword fighting in Hell On Earth books.
Templars are all about the sword.  If you are looking for

some way to

codify and put rules to the honor system Samurai followed,

I'm afraid

you won't find it.
