[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7269888, member: 82504"] Well any of the attacks that are superior are costing a feat others are basically part of categories the classes are already given access to. In some sense we are declaring that in a campaign using these rules, martial types have familiarity with these weapon and armor types too AND non - martial classes have an aditional feat to become martial in front of them as well. Say a Constitution using Warlock wanted that Chi armor he would need a significant multi-class feat to be martial and one to learn martial practices... ofcourse both those could be seen as valuable themselves, however that is not chi armor isnt really a big armor class bump if the Warlock is doing Int/Dex investment... but it enables more focused investment in CON which maybe the point of it (or maybe they want to do more diverse attribute distribution instead of a strong secondary) and of course over investment has a cost too it be depriving reflex defense. Hmmm in order to make melee basic attacks it takes melee training in a sense this could be seen as like gaining the armor part. Spell casters without wand or robes arent very deprived of combat capability anyway so the martial arts kind of bring that quality to the warriors. (isnt this feat cost to gain access in most campaigns like putting a cost on reflavoring??) Yeah I have been giving the warlord class free entre in to having MP ... which would have made sense from the beginning if Martial Practices had been considered a martial function from the beginning.... and if I bring the monk into Martial (rather the way of the Berzerker and the Skald did for the bard and barbarian) I could give the monk some of the recent monk flavored martial practices too. I am also thinking in terms of campaign flavor management, this might be seen as opening it up to a game where martial has more in common with Crouching Tiger Hidden Tiger than having one guy show up who fights with his hands.
