Discussion in the PHB mini-review thread got me thinking. quote: Originally posted by IanB Non-standard classes that are covered (I probably will miss a couple as I'm doing this from memory) are the marshal, hexblade, scout, swashbuckler, warlock, warmage, and favored soul. There's no mention of the Asian classes ... quote: Originally posted by Feathers I do wish the OA-type classes (regular shaman, sohei, samurai, ninja, and wu jen) were done up in the PHB II. The omission of Oriental spells from Spell Compendium, and Oriental base classes from PHBII, suggests to me that Oriental character options are being held in reserve for an updated 3.5 Oriental Adventures (or Heroes of the Orient?) sourcebook. They've just been too conspicuous by their absence. We've had Oriental base classes published in the various Complete sourcebooks, which I think has helped to raise the profile of Oriental characters among the general player-base. But it would be really nice to see them updated, expanded and compiled into one volume. I'd really love for these to happen! What do you think are the chances? PS: If a new Oriental Adventures were released, cross-product support for more Oriental minis, and a Fantasic Locations map for an Oriental setting!

well, last year at a GenCon WotC seminar, Oriental Adventures is considered part of the Heroes of... series already. Who knows what is coming out next year, but I kinda doubt Heroes of the Orient will be on the schedule

I for one would love to see that happen, as I still use OA classes and an Asian theme in my campaign world. I miss the old days of Kara-Tur...

DarkWhite, I like your term "conspicuous by their absence". It makes perfect sense to me. Also, I hope they add in some more classes, feats, and spells of an OA nature, and not just rehash what we already have.
