With all of the recent talk about a 5e version of Kara Tur thanks to the Oni's Right Hand article, what would everyone like to see if WoTC made it official?

species ideas.
In Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms, there is a species known as the Tatsumi. All members of this species are born as anthropomorphic Koi (the Nishikin). Some of these Nishikin during moments of life-changing significance-a great tragedy, achieving a life-long goal or a moment of epiphany-transform into Dragonborn-like beings (the Ryujin).Hengeyokai of all stripes would be neat!! I love the carp Hengeyokai an absurd amount.

In the past decade or so Chinese language fantasy fiction has really taken off, and now there really is no reason for a western creator to be ignorant of them. So many of the character options in OA were based on Japanese archetypes: here are some distinctly fantastic but uniquely Chinese ideas I'd like to see alongside samurai ninjas and shugenjas
I would like:
Some sort of class or subclass that is explicitly called a "fangshi" - a "master of recipes", referring to Chinese alchemy, though this is also a better translation of a d&d style wizard with their spell books and such
A class or subclass explicitly flavored around a xia from wuxia: that is a weapon using "knight errant" figure (contrasted with the unarmed monk) with supernatural powers and a desire for justice.
A class, subclass or feat that is inspired by contemporary Chinese "cultivation" fantasy: that is, getting supernatural powers through meditating and performing "internal alchemy" on oneself.
Could be, but I think fangshi may be better suited as a wizard subclass.So Fangshi = Alchemist Artificer?
Oath of Wuxia Paladin?
And Way of Alchemy Monk?
