Grabbed this because my youngest wants to play a ninja like character. It has a ninja, as well as a monk, a mahoutsukai (spell caster that uses both magic user and cleric spells, and a lot of them), and the yokai which is a race as a class of animalistic humanoids, and of course the Samurai.

Weapons are listed (damage and cost) but no descriptions are given and no artwork of the weapons. And that is pretty much it. If you don't know what these weapons look like, then you are on your own really.

Looking over the mahoutsukai it is grossly overpowered. It basically advances as cleric and a magic user at the same time. So by 14th level it has 12 each of 1st through 5th level spells, 7 6th level and 1 7th level. It has limits, namely limited to the same arms and armor choices as a magic-user, limited to 14th level and can't turn undead. But that is still a lot of spells. Honestly it should one spell list that combines select magic-user and cleric spells and it should have some limits on what it can and cannot do. Right now it is not a class I can recommend using.

Interessante approccio orientale ai retrocloni. Trova, però, scarsa applicazione perchè nessuna ambientazione di Old D&D è ambientata nel lontano Est a meno di non forzare Kara-Tur e convertirlo a OD&D. Ad ogni modo gli autori hanno fatto un bel lavoro di adattamento che non lascia nulla al caso.

This product is well-presented and representative of the source material without being rule-heavy. The generic yokai, or "monster" class can represent tengu, kappa or other anthropomorphic characters from East Asian myth without needing an entire book. I do have two complaints about this product: it is listed as compatible with Castles and Crusades, but no ascending armor classes or saves as universal mechanic options are given; no descriptions are given for the Japanese weapons and armor stats.
