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 |

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.

Skills and Feats: Balance +12 (adds Str modifier instead of Dex
modifier), Intuit Direction +8, Spot -4 (racial penalty).
Special Attacks: Earthquake (By taking a standard action and standing
still, a jishin mushi can initiate an earthquake by grabbing the earth with its
six massive legs and shaking. 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.)
