OSRIC Unearthed provides new classes, weapons, martial arts rules, magic items and campaign resources, allowing your games to do more than ever before. With the new Barbarian, Knight and Samurai classes you can expand your campaign into other cultural regions and bring some variant warriors into your game different from the standard Fighter, Ranger and Paladin. The Bard and the Noble provide support characters that make those around them better and also provide backup support in combat and stealth. And speaking of stealth, for those who believe that invisibility equals invincibility we present the Ninja and Thief-Acrobat, providing those who like more subtle characters with more options as well. For those who prefer to fight without weapons, the Brawler and Yamabushi, along with a new set of rules for martial arts allow you to feature unarmed combats
