05-01-07, 05:24 PM I realise that there is no official Honor system in 3.5, but I REALLY like the system from AD&D for the honor points, and I am using it for an upcomming char in Kara-Tur (Figured this would be the place to ask despite the setting change, since you are more likly to be familiar with the old oriental adventures, I imagine).

Has anyone adapted the AD&D Honor system in their 3.5 game, and how did it go? Much of it seems fairly straightforward to transfer, so how did your experiences go?

If there is such a system from the "old days" that I prefer, it would be the one from Al-Qadim: Arabian Adventures.

Most recently, you should consider looking into the system in the new Unearthed Arcana. Or go d20 and look into Rokugan (AEG) or Legends of the Samurai (RPG Object).

Not necessarily. You can adapt it to Eastern honor, which is more about loyalty to one's clan and promoting the status of one's own family.
