I s'pose. Law/chaos alignment restrictions always leave me vaguely dissatisfied, but I think it probably is better with the "any non-chaotic" restriction. (Although see below.) That makes more sense, I think. At first I thought that Jump was enough for wu-xia, so I was focusing more on the...

So I was reading the Lancer thread (haven't we all been?) and looking at OA's Blade Dancer, and thought, "Hmm, I don't think I could talk anyone into letting me use that class as is in 3.5 -- much less psionically." Which is a shame, because even considered separately from the whole Lance...
