This continent is now connected to the primary landmass in which I run my campaigns, but remains fairly mysterious (as of now, any dragonborn players in my campaign are decended from dragonborn who emigrated north over a century before. Dragonborn concepts of honor lend to a very bushido-like outlook, and, wanting to emphasize the difference, I wanted everything in thi continent to look and feel a lot different. So, I decided, what if the land were Oriental-themed and the dragons ruled as daimyos over the dragonborn populace? Just as a flavor thing, I don't intend on making a whole new list of weapons and armor, but I was looking at past Oriental campaign sources and was doing conversions for items and wanted to post them here for people who might want something similar. Anyone else who would like to contribute is welcome to do so, I will update the lsit on the OP whenever I get the chance. [u]Armor[/u] Cloth: No change (Cord Armor?)
