Quick note: We’re using Pathfinder Rules for a game set in Sengoku Japan, just because it’s the system i’m used to. I’ve limited races to Aasimar, Tieflings, Humans, and Half-Elves with some flavoring. Also, all players are level 6 at the current moment.
Anyway, I’m running a campaign based on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice where the characters are trying to escort a young prince out of a war torn province, however, this is in order of the emperor. So far I have an NPC who is based on the One Armed Wolf himself (Level 5 Ninja/Level 1 Constructed Pugilist Brawler).
What I’m trying to figure out is some enemies based on enemies and bosses, specifically:
Genichiro Ashina: He’s a bit broad as he’s a bowman, a swordsman, and can summon lightning. This means he’d Be a Jack of All Trades but Master of None. Is there any way I can fulfill his legendary status? (Was considering two separate builds, one was Swordmaster/Bowman samurai and the other was a Kensai Magus)
Headless: Not the Guardian Ape, but the headless enemies that must have Divine Confetti used to actually be hit. Can take some mechanics fudging if a special item is not possible.
O’Rin of the Water: The Shamisen playing specter who dances around and fights with a Wakizashi in her instrument.
Also, are there any books with monsters of Japanese origin that I can use?
Thanks! I know I’m asking a lot, I’m just a bit stuck.
The 'Jade Regent' campaign has lots of Japanese stuff in it (especially in the last couple of books). I believe most of the creatures ended up in Pathfinder Bestiary 3.
