I was thinking this was for brain storming, so not fullly elaborated. Though it does occur to me now that we are down to needing 4 more practices (to match the 49 rituals in the players handbook) it might be appropriate to having a better synopsis on each listed in so that mayhaps new ideas can be better targetted for and around the context we already have.

don't like the formatting this platform allows - may do it in a different context like a google doc, inlude columns like analog ritual for those who have one synopsis, relevant skills and so on.

Added Sensei for the teaching of martial arts (analogous to magic weapon creation) - replaces iron palm training. (more general and in some cases incorporates iron palm training)

I have started adding Martial Techniques to the character builder... Flying Kick, Knife Hand, Lunge Punch etc... both easier and more difficult than I expected.

Turns out there are primarily 5 classic animals associated with the Chinese martial arts...
One could go with.... ?

The Crane (cloth)
the Leopard(leather)
the Tiger (hide)
the Snake (chain)
the Dragon (scale).


edit: Though perhaps mechanically Crane should also be leather with a chitinous mantis added at the plate grade

edit 2: There doesnt seem to be a point of having a cloth type, every martial class has skill up to leather...
