Must have Str 11, Int 15, Dex 15, and Cha 16. They must be lawful, though rarely lawful good. Yakuza are urban characters, and are not as effective in wilderness settings. Equipment All starting equipment must come from the oriental lists. This is from anticipating the opponent's moves and acting to thwart them.
Yakuza learn the best times to conjole, threaten, bribe, or persuade people.
The yakuza also has contacts. They are NPCs who can provide information and aid to the yakuza. They cooperate with the yakuza and stay silent as long as they are fairly treated, and not threatened or implicated in anything. The yakuza gets one contact per two experience levels. If the DM decides the contact is appropriate, the yakuza may use the contact as needed.
