Ronin Challenge

IN PROGRESS

I will announce when the conversion is finished on the main page of The Wu Jen, and place a posting on the Wizards.Com Boards and ENWorld boards.

The notes for conversion are listed by page number on the actual printed pages, not the page numbers displayed when viewed in Adobe Acrobat Viewer.

General Notes

All classes and prestige classes I used are in the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Oriental Adventures. I also used a few feats from the Rokugan Campaign Setting, but it is not necessary to own this book to use the conversions.

Money 1e gp have a different value than 3e gp, and so translating from 1e OA currency to 3e currency is not straightforward. I did a "commodity basket" analysis and found the following values to be approximately true:

	1e OA currency	3e currency
	1 chi'en	1 gp
	6 tael/ch'ao	1 gp
	6 yuan	1 sp
	6 fen	1 cp

Jishin Mushi (Earthquake Beetle, New Monster): These are monstrous beetles capable of initiating a small earthquake (jishin) when threatened. They are usually dull brown or black in color, though some are mottled black and brown. They have bad eyesight and are liable to wander into a camp of adventures at inopportune times... Protected by a great carapace and as muscle-bound as a tiger, they are relatively fearless for good reason. Most animals avoid and other vermin them. The creature has yet to appear in any 3rd edition D&D material.

The effects are the same as an earthquake spell cast by a 13th-level sorcerer, but the radius of effect is only 5 ft. in the first round. Thereafter, if the jishin mushi continues to shake the earth, the radius increases by 5 ft. per round, to a maximum of 30 ft. A jishin mushi must remain stationary in the round when it is performing this action, forgoing even a 5-ft. adjustment step. They are of course immune to the effects of an earthquake. A jishin mushi cannot bite or perform other actions during an earthquake.)

Note: I suppose there are a number of ways to portray Fukawa. He might be extremely wise and stupid (as below), or very intelligent and lacking common sense, or ignorant and unwise, or simply normal and annoying and friendly. He is however, 200 years old, and to explain this fact, I used the Sennin template from Jade Dragons and Hungry Ghosts.
