Oriental Adventures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Oriental Adventures is the title shared by two hardback rulebooks published for different versions of the Dungeons and Dragons (DandD) fantasy roleplaying game. The original Oriental Adventures (ISBN 0-88038-099-3) was written by Gary Gygax, David "Zeb" Cook, and Francois Marcela-Froideval, and published in 1985 by TSR, Inc. for use with the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition rules. The second version of Oriental Adventures (ISBN 0-7869-2015-7) was written by James Wyatt and published by Wizards of the Coast in October 2001. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Oriental_Adventures   (518 words)

Le Valet d'Coeur Online - Review of Oriental Adventures by Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons and Dragons Although some material from the 1st edition oriental adventures is included, this book has nothing to do with Kara-Tur, the original Oriental Adventures world setting. The Wu Jen is the oriental equivalent of the wizard. A section describes the effect of honor in an oriental setting and discusses the possibility of substituting honor for alignment. www.levalet.com /ENGCAT/REV/WTC12015.HTM   (1268 words)

Oriental Adventures Oriental Adventures and Legend of the Five Rings First and foremost is the original Oriental Adventures, published in 1985 for the first edition of the ADandD game. The only significant gap is the lack of any campaign information about Kara-Tur, the far-eastern continent of Toril (the world of the Forgotten Realms), which was the second-edition Oriental Adventures campaign. www.aquela.com /roleplaying/OA   (944 words)

Oriental Adventures I've converted the classes and races that were presented in the 1st Edition Oriental Adventures sourcebook to a 3rd Edition format. The possibilities for an Oriental campaign are every bit as varied as that of a standard pseudo-European setting, and can form the basis for a strong campaign even after the novelty of a new thing wears off. Classes: Thoughts on the roles and abilities of classes in an Oriental setting, plus two new 3e classes: the samurai and kensai. www.geocities.com /lordstevil/dnd3-orient.html   (610 words)

The Weapons Master Improved ability to hit creatures hit only by magic weapons with a melee weapon of proficiency: After Oriental Adventures, this ability is identical to the kensai's rather than the barbarian's. That is, the weapons master may affect creatures struck only by magical weapons of +1 or better at 3rd level, +2 or better at 5th level, +3 or better at 8th level, +4 or better at 10th level, and +5 or better at 12th level. Maximum damage attack with a melee weapon of proficiency: This power is identical to the kensai's, and is only available in campaigns occuring after the advent of the 1st Edition Oriental Adventures rules (in which the kensai was introduced). pw1.netcom.com /~rogermw/ADnD/Weapons.html   (4250 words)

RPG Now: Oriental Adventures In the lands of Oriental Adventures, characters are not judged solely on their prowess with sword and spell. Oriental characters' social skills and personal honor are just as important as their combat abilities. From the favored weapons of the ninja to thin pieces of cloth that actually stop arrows, the arms and defenses of the Orient are yours in the lands of Kara-Tur. www.rpgnow.com /product_info.php?products_id=1370   (250 words)

The Oriental Hardpoint - d20 D&D Oriental Adventures Resource Site There is a new adventure (which you can use as a prelude for the final showdown) and a new gazetteer - but this is most likely the final update for a long time. The surprise I talked about is here - an interview with James Wyatt, the designer of Oriental Adventures. All of it is for DandD Oriental Adventures, most of it pdf, some of it jpg. www.oriental.hardpoints.de   (628 words)

500+ Dungeons and Dragons Adventures Adventures listed here can either be a side encounter or a full adventure (with maps and such).

Later AD&D Manuals DragonLance Adventures provides additional campaign resource material for Tracy Hickman's DragonLance Campaign and world of Krynn, as well as information on classes, races, spells, and artifacts. Greyhawk Adventures takes over where the World of Greyhawk Campaign set left off, describing in depth many additional features of the Greyhawk campaign. However, in both these cases, the hardbacks are identical to stand-alone versions, with the exception that the bar codes on the rear covers of the hardback books have been crossed out with a fl "x", to prevent them from being scanned and sold separately from the booklets. www.acaeum.com /ddindexes/setpages/lateradd.html   (1337 words)

[No title] There is a main adventure in here, in which ninja factions erupt around the Shining Temple of Bishamoy, where pilgrims come for the ceremony of The Three Thousand Steps. Notes: Contributed by: Steven M. Latour (latourst@nhc.edu) Overview of the OA series of modules: The first five OA modules, OA1-OA5 were based upon the 1st edition Oriental Adventures supplement, and were thus not setting specific. The first is for introducing normal AD&D characters (levels 6-10) to the Oriental Adventures setting, the second is a beginning adventure for first level Oriental Adventures characters. www.rpggateway.com /tsrlist/docfiles/11_KaraTur.doc   (653 words)

TKAdndAdventures Mostly a Hack 'n' Slash type of adventure, the first two pages or so are filled with the stats of all the "bad guys". The Village of Eirie is an ADandD adventure for a party of four to six adventurers, each between 5th or 7th level. This is a small dungeon adventure "The Tomb of Taranthis the Dark Lord Adventure" It doesn't say what level characters, or have any maps. www.role-play.net /tomeskeeper/tkadndadvent.htm   (1267 words)

Dragonsfoot :: View topic - Oriental Adventures I was considering the possibility of making my own world and was wondering if I could gather some opinions regarding the balance of mixing both the East and the West culture classes in the same setting. Do any of you feel that the Oriental characters would be too overpowering for the Western (European cultures) or that their increased EXP demands balances out there powers and abilities. I might include a single NPC at some stage, but he or she would be a traveller far away from home or an outcast perhaps. www.dragonsfoot.org /forums/viewtopic.php?t=308   (948 words)

D&D: Oriental Adventures - RPGnet Forums From a representational point of view, and one that isn't tied to the Oriental genre as such, the samurai class allows for the knight-in-shining-armour archetype that's prominent in the folklore of cultures all over the globe. Britannia is not an "Oriental" setting as most people would imagine the term, but there are similarities. The material has somewhat of an Oriental flavour, but it's still generic enough that it can be used in settings that aren't Oriental at all. forum.rpg.net /showthread.php?t=53592   (1961 words)

Nyambe: African Adventures The result is a Dungeons and Dragons "culture book", like Oriental Adventures, except that this culture hasn't been done before. If you're worried that playing in Nyambe will exclude standard settings and characters, the way Oriental Adventures seems to assume little contact between East and West, don't be. Nyambe can be used to expand a European, Middle Eastern, or Oriental campaign as well as replace it (I already have ideas on how to link it with my campaign-in-development), and would be a great sourcebook for anyone wanting to flesh out the "Southern Lands" on the bottom edge of a campaign map. www.thegamekeep.com /nyambe.html   (568 words)

Web Enhancements - Oriental Adventures Oriental Adventures offers complete rules for running a campaign with a medieval Oriental motif.

Oriental Adventures: d20 Products Despite the fact that Oriental Adventures itself is not included in the d20 System Reference Document and itself contains no Open Gaming content, a couple of d20 publishers are releasing products intended to dovetail with the release of OA and provide additional material for an OA campaign. The first one to come out is Green Ronin's Jade Dragons and Hungry Ghosts, a monster book chock full of monsters from the mythology of Japan, China, southeast Asia, and the fertile imaginations of its designers. There's very little overlap between it and my Oriental Adventures (the rokurokubi and jikini(n)ki are the only duplicated monsters). www.aquela.com /roleplaying/OA/d20.html   (1422 words)

Dragonsfoot :: View topic - buying Oriental adventures I never bothered to purchase the Oriental adventures book back when it came out as I was usually into a different type of campaign involving antediluvian worlds like Hyboria, or Tolkien-like types of backgrounds. This time around I have created a huge setting that has room for a purely oriental campaign setting and I was wondering if the Oriental adventures book is worth having to augment any scenarios that could take place in that area. It was rushed to the printers and there are a few "broken rules" in there, but for the most part it is good stuff. www.dragonsfoot.org /forums/viewtopic.php?t=2729   (972 words)

AD&D Character Creation:  Oriental Non-weapons Proficiencies Since oriental characters must determine all proficiencies at once, the oriental non-weapon proficiency listings are given here. It is also necessary for oriental characters to have access to the martial arts information. It is hoped that this web site will contain everything needed to create the level one character, but the martial arts styles lists are constantly expanding (indeed, characters in several classes have the prerogative to create a new style to be his style if he so desires), and cannot be contained here. www.mjyoung.net /dungeon/char/weap002.html   (681 words)

Oriental Adventures v. 3.5 update? Wizos please respond. - Wizards Community Is there any plans to update the Oriental Adventures to 3.5?
