4e Dungeons and Dragons Rokugan conversion
Races
Clan – Human the ability score and skill bonus will be based on particular Clan and family choice.
Non-human Choices
Naga – Dwarf
Nezumi – Elf
Kitsune – Eldarin
Classes
A note about Samurai. All players will be considered of the Samurai social class. To gain the ability to Use a dashio they must take the Weapon Proficiency feat: Bastard Sword.
So for example
A Crab Samurai would be a fighter
A Lion General a Warlord
A Scorpion student of Bayushi, a rogue
A Maho cultist, Warlock
etc and it goes on and on.
Shugenja
These are the difficult ones Some are more like Priests others are elemental masters. So i have determined some basics here I am currently fleshing out.
Basically they way it works is that you pick a main class based on the Shugenja style of your clan and take the multi class feat into the other class. Some clans i don’t think need the multi class feat.
Phoenix WIZ/CLR
Dragon CLR/WIZ
Unicorn CLR
Lion CLR
Crane CLR/WIZ
Crab WIZ/CLR
Mantis WIZ/CLR
(note main class goes first)
Okay now onto weapons (all important for the Katana swinging Samurai) decided to take Cameron’s tact – Just assign different names for similar weapons
Katana – Bastard Sword (if not a fighter or warlord must take Weapon Proficiency Feat)
Wakizashi – Short Sword
Die Tsuchi – War hammer
Nagamaki – Halberd
Naginata – Falchion
so thats as far as I got i do have to work on amour now and the clans along with the cleric feats
