    The book is out of date on unfortunately, but I use it as a reference guide. M5e they really haven't created a ninja type character oh, but there is a build for creating a ninja. That's the main reason I bought the book and also as a reference guide for Japanese type monsters to make dming different. Thank you Amazon, for having this book it's a great reference guide.

    I bought this book for a better samurai class then the one I found in Complete Warrior. While it is more like the Fighter, it was still fun. This book has everything you need for an Oriental campaign setting. New gear, magic enchantments, new races, a few prestige classes and a list of some monsters you could add to your campaign. Definitely worth the buy.

    We recently started a Far East D&D campaign and this book has been incredibly helpful with classes and lore. The 1992 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Oriental Adventures guide goes extremely well with this book.

    i play 3.5 exclusively and this adds those extra bits that keeps the game fresh. adds a slew of new weapons, a couple of new races, an incredible number of spells, and best of all ninjas (and other themed classes). the new flavor this book can add to even an existing campaign is fantastic. the only draw back on this book is when you get that DM that says "not everyone can be a ninja"

    came in a little sooner than I expected and was used but that's ok. It provides many good things but bare in mind it also cuts out a lot of play from the player's handbooks since your in asia not supposed Europe.. I found this works kinda well with 5th edition and 3rd edition.

    Despite being sold as used and in 'good' condition, the copy I received was pristine and still had its 'new book smell'. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It arrived about two weeks before it was scheduled and makes a fantastic addition to the 3.5 campaign if you are looking for an oriental flavour.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dungeons und Dragons drauf, Legends of the Five Rings drin
    Reviewed in Germany on October 22, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Da man keine halben Sterne vergeben kann, runde ich von viereinhalb auf fünf Sterne auf. Den halben Stern ziehe ich ab, weil ich hoffte, ein Buch über Kara-Tur zu erhalten (als BGII-Veteran hätte ich gern mehr über Yoshimos Heimat erfahren ;) ), und stattdessen bekam ich ein Buch über Rokugan. Für mich ist das nicht ganz so schlimm, da Rokugan kein unbekanntes Land für mich ist, bin ich doch auch mit dem Kartenspiel "Legends of the Five Rings" vertraut.
    Ganz nachvollziehen kann ich die Entscheidung zwar nicht, aber ich kann damit leben. Da ich nicht den Originalpreis bezahlt habe, ziehe ich auch vom Preis keinen weiteren (halben) Stern ab, aber auf meinem Buch ist noch ein Aufkleber, der besagt, es kostete mal 34,95 USD - das ist doch recht hoch.

    Das Buch ist schön gestaltet: der Einband erinnert (optisch) an ein Bambus-gebundenes Buch mit handgeschöpften Seiten, und die Cover-Illustration - wie auf dem Bild sichtbar - ist im Stil einer älteren asiatischen Tuschezeichnung gehalten. Die Zeichnungen innerhalb des Buches gefallen mir mal besser, mal weniger gut, sind aber insgesamt mit anderen D&D-Publikationen der 3.0/3.5 Edition zu vergleichen (auch wenn der Nezumi auf dieser einen Zeichnung keinen Schweif hat... böses Foul). Neben Einträgen zur Geschichte, Philosophie und Gesellschaft von Rokugan werden natürlich auch die großen Clans mit ihren Eigenheiten beschrieben (wobei zum Erscheinungsdatum des Buches der Mantis-Clan noch nicht zu den Großen Clans gehörte). Es finden sich auch Übersichtszeichnungen zu gewöhnlichen Häusern, einer Burg, einem Dungeon etc. Wichtige Unterschiede zum "normalen" Spielverlauf in einer "normalen" Kampagnenwelt von Dungeons und Dragons werden gut herausgestellt (zum Beispiel ist das Plündern von Toten etwas, das in diesem Setting zu Problemen führen kann). Auch die Beschreibung verschiedener Grundklassen wird an das "Oriental Adventure"-Setting angepasst, und es wird erklärt, warum es z.B. keine Druiden in Rokugan gibt.

    Zugegeben: ich habe mir das Buch aus nur einem einzigen Grund gekauft: ich wollte die Werte für die Hengeyokai und die Nezumi, um sie für meine Spieler als spielbare Völker zugänglich zu machen. Aber ich freue mich nun über interessante Grund- und Prestigeklassen, neue "Monster" (es ist schön, die Tasloi wieder zu sehen), Einträge über östliche Drachen (für unseren Halbdrachen, der unbedingt einen östlichen Drachen als Ahnherren wollte), magische Gegenstäne und neue exotische Waffen (fern des üblichen Katana).
    Natürlich gibt es auch neue Talente und Fertigkeiten (Craft Talisman" gefällt mir sehr gut) - und es wurde sogar daran gedacht, den "normalen" Charakterbogen dahingehend abzuändern.

    Von den optionalen Regelbüchern, die ich bis jetzt besitze, ist dieses - neben dem Draconomicon - mein Favorit. Im Hinblick auf die Nützlichkeit in einer Spielrunde rangiert es sogar noch vor dem Draconomicon.

    Für knapp unter 12 Euro gibt es hier ein etwa 250 Seiten starkes Regelbuch mit neuen Feats, Prestigeklassen,Klassen und sogar neuen spielbaren Völkern. Ausserdem jede Menge Ausrüstung die in ein fernöstlich angehauchtes Setting passt, und last but not least auch noch das Rogukan Campaign Setting als Beispielsetting einer fernöstlichen Spielwelt. Alles ausgestattet mit schön gestalteten Illustrationen.
    Hier bekommt man echt etwas für sein Geld.
