    Why Daie it's just slightly different setting you play your characters well in other RP's. It's still much the same classes with new names and honour involved.

    Mauro has kindly created my female human ninja character so all I need to do is find a name for her and post her. She is level 5.

    After a kind PM from DS, I think I will join you all in this. It should be good fun. After I've read up a bit on the setting and created a character, I'll post again. :thumb:

    @ Daie, I think Darkstrider is pretty open for races other than Human:

    "Spirits" Are you talking about Spirit Folk or the spirits that are venerated and grant shamans their spell?

    I was just talking, I didn't have anything definite in mind. I haven;t got the sourcebook, and my knowledge of those cultures comes from movies, manga and games.

    There are 3 spirit-folk to play Daie, Bamboo, River or Sea. Most starters will be 5 and we may end up with epic levels if it goes that far. There are also 2 barbarian races horse-riding raiders (essentially the Mongols) and sea-faring raiders (the Vikings).

    My character will need to be at least lvl 8 (Ftr6/WuJ2 or Ftr7/WuJ1) to even qualify for the Blade Dancer prestige class, is this a problem?

    Prerequisites: BAB +7, 12 ranks in jump and tumble and ability to cast divine or arcane spells

    Though I do suspect that a lvl 7 ranger technically could qualify with his spellcasting..

    EDIT: Seems lvl 9 is needed to aquire 12 ranks in jump and tumble..

    Daie the japanese empire won't it's bound by Bushido, but if you were chinese or korean? If you are going to be a Samurai or other empire equivalent pm about levels etc.

    theGodless I was going to limit starting characters to a max of 7 unless you are going to solo in the RP. PM me and we'll discuss it.

    Please note the name of the RP is "Dragons of Heaven and Earth" and I have posted an 'Out Of Character' thread to begin with. More to follow as described in the OOC.
