And it was a blast! Lone wolf is what started me into role-playing, and i bought the lone wolf rpg sight unseen from my flgs. Now, i wanted to integrate it with my current Forgotten Realms campaign (i was worried about game balance, but i decided to check it out anyway. So far, no major issues!), so i placed the Kai monastasry in Cormyr on the borders of the Stormhorn mountains. So I trotted my first level Kai lord out (taking mind over matter as my first discipline) with a halfling rogue and a half elven druid. We investigated a plague in the mountains, had a fight with some kobolds, and i almost died. Sun Wolf, my character, was the default heavy hitter for the group, but i was no means a combat munchkin. Had to be pulled from the brink of death by the druid (which is ironic, because when i first played the lone wolf books years ago, i first died by a druid...some blood druid i think? Are those guys gonna get statted out sometime?)
Anyway, the reason i am writing this in is to tell you guys that i played a kai lord in a standard first level adventure in the forgotten realms, with other standard first level adventurers, and so far there were absolutely no balance issues. I didn't give him feats, so he is strictly statted by the mongoose rules. He was in no way overpowered to the other characters (he almost died! from a kobold!) If there is any interest, i will happiliy relate the further adventures later, to see if kai lords can fit in standard dnd worlds.
In closing i would thank the gang at mongoose for a job well done, and taking a license that is near and dear to my heart, converting it to a system that i love to play today, and bringing my roleplaying history full circle. Thank you guys, truly. Best 40 bucks i've spentt on an rpg in a long, long, time!
