[QUOTE="Misanthrope Prime, post: 9721023, member: 6776166"] 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.
