I was looking into the Oriental Adventures, and for some reason, I had never noticed the Ninja Spy, which seems like an enjoyable rogue PrC. I generally hate ninjas as over-hyped rogues, but anyway...
I want to reflavor it to a more Chinese flavor. my issue is that the Ninja Spy gets exotic weapon proficiencies as it levels up... however, most of the weapons appear to be quite Japanese in origin and flavor. I would like different weapons that reflect a more Chinese setting.
these are the weapon options currently: blowgun, chain, chijiriki (Japanese), fukimi-bari (Japanese?), hand crossbow, kusari gama (Japanese), nekode, ninja-to (Japanese, also, since when is a crappy shortsword an exotic weapon?), shikomi-zue (Japanese? also, OA says its a large weapon, 1d8 x3... seems silly, since it is basically a sword cane) , shuriken, spiked chain, or war fan.
my only current ideas to replace the more Japanese of these would... a Dao, (a Chinese broadsword) which is in effect a scimitar. Any other Chinese type weapon suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
