A great product. Very well researched and appears very balanced. I don't know about the martial arts forms, they seem very similar and more based off of what skills they give as class skills. I haven't tried them out in game yet, just from reading through a couple of times.

Lots of routes to go with your party and interesting dynamics between the jobs you could choose. I also appreciate the options they set up for doing a more historical or more myth based campaign.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Really great background, lots of jobs based on Mythology and history and great job with honor requirements and fame and stuff like that.

I really like the feats that allow you to read the attacks and prepare for your enemies strikes. That really gives the feel of inteligent combat. Liked the various jobs for different social classes.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I would have liked the martial arts forms to be more like stances with costs and gains you could switch between, Instead they just add permanent bonuses and class skills. Again I haven't tried it out in game so that might work better.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

A fine resource for gaming in medieval Japan or a fantasy version thereof. Classes are well done, closely based on fact and legend behind the classes. Very playable in different types of games in the setting.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Well researched, well balanced.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Samurai should segue into Ronin class better. Could perhaps use a little more setting material.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
