[QUOTE="IceFractal, post: 3138372, member: 27704"] I'd say ToB is one of the easier books to incorporate. Do people fight in your setting? Do they ever train to be better at fighting? Well there you go. More specifically, how certain styles could be integrated: Stone Dragon - Legendary dwarven combat art, anyone? Shadow Hand/Diamond Mind - Secret techniques of an assassin's guild. Iron Heart/White Raven - Elite military tactics of a current or past empire. Tiger Claw - Ancient fighting style of certain totem clans. Devoted Spirit - Divine inspiration - needs no more explanation than a Paladin Desert Wind - Fire based techniques, the legacy of an Efreet that ruled a desert kingdom in the past, and was hungry for more territory. Setting Sun - Created by halflings in their struggle against the larger orcs and ogres. In most of these cases, the styles are somewhat of a guarded secret, but secrets tend to spread, and there's always outcasts. This could explain why these styles weren't known (to the PCs at least) before. [/QUOTE]
