Every other fighting culture on earth can be cover with the fighter but an Asian one can not? Nevermind every fighting culture (on Earth or the Golarion equivalent) but in the very planes themselves. Balor with Fighter levels; check. Marlith with Rogue levels; check. But on the other side of the coin: Pit Fiend with Samurai and Ninja levels; check, check and shuuuweet!! ;) I for one would not mind seeing Pathfinder's take on Samurai, on Spirit Folk, on the Yakuza, on Sumo wrestling, on Oni, on different martial arts styles, on the Manangal, or the Kapre, or Eastern Faiths, on Eastern philosophies, what 'masterwork' means in an Asian setting (it better not just be a +1 to hit is all I'm saying !) etc, etc ... you get the idea. There were alternative classes in the game since 1st Eds Unearthed Arcana (even prior to that in OD&D where Druids and Rangers were among the non core classes), and those classes were taken in new directions with Oriental Adventures, so there is some well loved and respected pedigree to an Oriental flavored (and crunch) book. It is unfortunate, but we do live in interseting times. ![]()

One could argue Kurosawa has a rather 'influential' following. Well, if one counts Lucas, Spielberg, Coppola, Jackson and Tarantino influential at least. |
