Thanks for the fantastic & indepth review! We just fixed 3 misprints (yamabushi chart, wukong alignment, and warrior monk's HD)!
Hey guys!
We added some erratta. In addition to some spelling/pronoun adjustments the following elements have changed. This will be reflected in a revised version later tonight.
Yamabushi
Mountain Hermit
The yamabushi must have at least 1 rank in the class skill and the skill must be a yamabushi class skill.
True Enlightenment
The skill selected must be a yamabushi class skill.
Shinshoku
Spells
“In order to prepare a spell a shinshoku must send his kami companion into the spirit world to retrieve it.”
A kami may only retrieve a single spell at a time.
A Returning Kami
If the square is occupied, a kami returns to the nearest unoccupied square. If this is not possible, it simply returns to it’s object.
Learning Spells
This paragraph is not necessary.
The shinshoku & spell trigger/crafting items
As shinshoku does not actually have an intimate understanding of the magics (divine or arcane) that his kami retrieves. As such, a shinshoku cannot use his spells to craft spell trigger items or as part of crafting requirements.
Sacred Object
A sacred object must be paid for out of the shinshoku’s starting wealth.
Kami
Clarification: The kami stats presented are the only stats you may use for your kami companion.
Caster Level: A kami has a caster level equal to it’s shinshoku’s caster level.
Kami Affinity
A given affinity can only be selected once.
-Shield of Friendship is an immediate action.
-Hold Spell, Shishi & Shishi, Sword of the Kami, Shield of the Kami, Sacred Object Focus are (Su) abilities.
-Guardian kami, improved sacred object focus, detect soul shadow are (Sp) abilities.
Kuji-kiri Ninja (“Sorcerous Ninja”)

Reviewed first on Endzeitgeist.com, then submitted to GMS magazine, Nerdtrek and posted here, on OBS and d20pfsrd.com's shop.
So on a developer note, what part of the HotE series is OGL or is it at all? While reading through the credits page and PFRD/OGL I was unable to locate such wording.
-Greg LaRose
All of the HoE series is OGL.
Sweet. Thank you. There are several game mechanics in the series that are very neat. Just wanted to double check. I didn't see any specific thing that said they were open content.

Are we going to see a Supporting Roles/Heroes of the East cross over? Because I'm using feats from both sources and they rock. It would be cool if you guys did something together for a monk or other unarmed fighter. Just a thought.
