    [​IMG] For those of you who have the game, and therefore the manual, in hand, can someone fill me in on the exact specs for Kensai?

    I am especially interested in race restrictions, alignment restrictions, weapon restrictions, and minimum ability scores. Info on his AC bonuses would also be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    [​IMG] Here is some of the info you are looking for. I'm not sure about alignment or race restriction. I've check my book tonight and let you know. In regard to weapon a Kensai can use any melee weapon, but no missle weapons. As far as stat minimums the game works that all in during creation so I never really check. I hope this helps.

    Kensai

    This class is also known as the Sword Saint, and consists of a warrior who has been specially trained to be one with his sword. They are deadly and fast and trained to fight without encumbrance.

    Advantages:
    +1 to hit and +1 damage for every three levels.
    -2 bonus to AC.
    -1 bonus to speed factor for every 4 levels.
    May use Kai ability one time per day for every 4 levels (starts at 1st level with one use). This ability lasts 10 seconds and makes all the attacks do maximum damage.

    Disadvantages:
    May not use missile weapons.
    May not wear armor.
    May not wear gauntlets or bracers.

    To follow up on that, a Kensai can be any race, but I believe that it cannot be of a choatic alignment.
