Strikes and throws.(Mountain Style) Earth: Con based powers.  Damage soakers.  If, for example, you were playing a Mountain Wuxia, every power from the Mountain Style set you pick would allow a special bonus.  See page 125 of the player's handbook for an example under "Scorpion Strike".  If you pick the Brutal Scoundrel path, you get a special bonus power you can use.The idea is to make a system where they can expand their chosen path with abilities from other ones, while guiding them to stay near their roots.Okay, that's enough for a start.  Who wants the next crack at it?</blockquote>
