Dr. Yin Wu

[Kersplat]

I have a PC who's interested in exploring her character's Chinese heritage. I have the information on the Tiger Squad, but can someone point me towards the book Yin Wu is in? He's constantly mentioned in other books I own but never statted out.

Please and thank you.

He's never been in a 5E book. However, he and some of his followers are detailed in one of our Hero Plus Adventures, which are PDF-only products available in our Online Store.

Mr. Long did not point out his excellantly written book, The Watchers of the Dragon for 4 ed. Great book to get a hold of. :thumbup:

Just to be clear, said HPA, called The Dragon Mandarin, is also statted for 5E. In addition to Champions stats for Dr. Yin Wu, this e-book also includes full character sheets for his servants, the "Four Sons of the Dragon," as well as a fairly sizeable grimoire of magic spells drawn from Chinese legend and folklore, with a style and flavor quite distinct from most Western historical or fantasy-derived styles.

Note that the material above is essentially Fifth Edition updates to what's found in the following volume:

I also heartily endorse WotD, a unique blend of narrative fiction, adventure seeds, and sourcebook for Oriental and martial-arts characters and groups, many of whom were carried forward into the current official Champions Universe. If you can find this volume it would probably be helpful in developing a super/CU-based China for your campaign.

There are other Hero Games volumes we might also recommend, depending on what elements of "Chinese heritage" your player is interested in.

I didn't mention WotD seeing as how it's a bit out of date and probably hard to find... but I'm pleased that some of you remember it fondly. ;)

At some point (I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2011) we'll put a "Martial World" book for Champions on Ye Olde Productionne Schedule. I doubt it will be written the same way as WotD was, but it will certainly cover the same subject matter, and perhaps many of the same characters. We, as they say, shall see. ;)

Though regardless of that, Dr. Yin Wu and his main minions will almost certainly be included in Champions Villains, Vol. 1: Master Villains, slated for release mid-2010. :hex:

As indeed they should be. :cool:

The Martial World will be the next book I nag you about after Champions Beyond comes out. :whistle:

[TheQuestionMan]

Champions Beyond is out have you bugged him yet?

Cheers LL

The Martial World is on the publication schedule for next year, but Steve hasn't started writing it yet. If or when either of those things changes, Steve can expect to hear from me. :eg:
