There will be some heavy role playing plots, involving you and the third character and the different ages are necessary for that to take place. Your back-story looks great so far, keep the good work ^.^[/sblock]About swords: Excellent info, I like the idea of “stating” oriental swords. We could use this as an tentative table. There will be small chances of getting your hands over any other weapon than these, excepting axes or katars.Bastard Sword= Mio Dao <a href="http://www.learn-chinese-martial-arts.com/images/Miao-dao-sword.gif" target="_blank">http://www.learn-chinese-martial-arts.com/images/Miao-dao-sword.gif</a>Long sword= Jian <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian</a>Scimitar= Dao <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dao_%28sword%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dao_(sword)</a>Spear and long spear= Qiang  <a href="http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~msb46/qiang.gif" target="_blank">http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~msb46/qiang.gif</a>Staff= Gun <a href="http://beifan.com/shaolin-monk/059album03/sxd-2eg22.jpg" target="_blank">http://beifan.com/shaolin-monk/059album03/sxd-2eg22.jpg</a>Dagger= Baat Jaam Do <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Butterfly_Swords.gif" target="_blank">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Butterfly_Swords.gif</a>Apart from this, I must make some notes about the usage of weapons: If you carry a sword or another military weapon at sight, you will be treated either as a mercenary, bandit, or warrior not aligned with the imperial army (if you don’t have an imperial suit of armor that is). There will be times when using a weapon will not be a possibility, there are certain creatures immune to normal weapons, also, you cannot channel chi through weaponry so you won’t be able to combat spirits. That is the reason for which I put much emphasis on unarmed attacks. Most of the trainings will be useful with unarmed attacks. About the stone palm technique, or the open palm defense or about the possibility of using your hands as shields, that is not a bad idea at all. That is precisely my idea with trainings, to perform special feats with a given trainings, and combining the trainings (yours and the ones of your peers) in such way you get a nice combat tactic. But trainings require time and patience, they are not a “pay and use” thing, you need time to train the technique and get familiar with it before you can use it. Training itself won’t require nothing from you, but at the end of each training phase, you’ll be tested and will be required to succeed in your test in order to get the technique and be able to use your training.That takes me to another point:Channeling Chi: Any person related with martial arts learns to channel their chi, through meditation and training. Controlling this energy will allow the characters to make some feats out of ordinary. Channeling Chi will allow you to harm ghosts and spirits with your unarmed attack. If you attack living beings, you get a +1 force damage to your damage rolls. Channel Chi is an encounter power that you can use if you are not bloodied, since it requires great amount of concentration. It last 1 minute per level, or until you get bloodiedCovaithe: Lucky Leng looks good! You may want to list your class features also with unarmed strike, if that’s more comfortable for you.EQUIPMENT: The first 2 start with a Gun (the staff, not the firearm) a special leather armor (+3 AC) and  a bag with surviving equipment (rope, bedroll etc).</blockquote>
