Samurai

By Billy

Starting as a Nippon Samurai

1D6+8

Equipment

Katana - does 1d6+S damage.
Wakizashi - does 1d6 damage, may not make deathblows.

Armor - +1T.

Torinoko Grenades
Starts out with d3+1 grenades. Each grenade can be thrown up to 4 squares and does d6+2 damage with no modifiers. Each model adjacent to the target takes d6 damage with no modifiers except for T. Use BS when throwing.

SKILL

Daisho Technique

While wielding both the katana and wakizashi, if the samurai rolls a 5+ to hit, he may strike with the wakizashi doing an extra 1d6 damage. If a monster is killed after this attack, continue on to the next monster with the death blow.

Special Rules

Treasure

a Nippon samurai may use only non-weapon treasure available to the barbarian and elf. He may not use elf, dwarf, or wizard only items.

Daisho (katana and wakizashi)

if a Nippon samurai is ever in a situation where he would lose his katana, he doesn’t lose it automatically. Instead roll 2d6. On a double 1 or double 6, he loses it, and commits seppuku, or ritual suicide, and is dead.

Settlement Rules

-A samurai must pay more than normal living expenses. He pays 3 for a village, 4 for a town, and 5 for a city.

Foreigner

Since samurai aren’t that common, he must roll a 3+ on a 1d6 to enter a location after he has found it.

-He may visit the alehouse (no modifiers), the gambling den, temple, armorer (he will never buy a shield), the fletcher, animal trader, the general store, and at least once per settlement, he must visit the sake house.

Sake House

Anyone attempting to find a sake house must roll 1d6 in a town, and 2d6 in a city.
A sake house can be found on an 8+, and are only found in towns and cities.
A samurai adds 2 to the roll. A samurai doesn’t need to roll a 3+ to enter the sake house, he is quite welcome. A samurai must buy some sake there, which costs 50 gold. =
Once inside, roll 1d6 (a samurai adds 1, all others subtract 1):

1	You are given hard looks as you enter the sake house. A couple samurai approach your warrior and demand you leave or else.
2	You end up very drunk from the strong rice wine and end up d6x50 gold short the next day.
3	A mystical, priest-type person follows you to your seat and offers to sell an orange liquid filled flask. He will sell it for 100G. If drunk, you will be able to do an extra 1d6 damage for one whole combat round in the next adventure.
4	A big burly samurai challenges you to a duel. If you are a samurai, you will win on a 3+, if not, you will win on a 5+. If you win, you receive d6x50 gold. If you lose, you will lose d6x100 gold.
5	You have perfect etiquette while in the house, and while you stay at this settlement, anything you buy will be at ½ price on a 4+, 3+ if you are buying from a Nippon merchant.
6	A band of brigands try to raid the bar. If you roll a 4+ on a d6, you kill them and win d6x100 gold. If you fail, you are kicked out of the bar.
7	You are greeted by some geisha and taken to a small geisha house after your stay at the sake house. You are treated very well and given a warm steam bath. You feel very refreshed, so refreshed, that you add +1 to your starting wounds score.
