[sblock= CREATING A MARTIAL ARTIST]
Martial Arists depend on Strength, Dexterity and Wisdom
for most of their powers. Constitution is always useful.
The two Martial Artist builds presented here are the
Aggressive and the Passive Martial Artist.
Aggressive Martial Artist
You like to show your skill, both in and out of combat.
Strength is of great value for you since you are out for
the destruction of foes, Dexterity and Wisdom should
be balanced, with a slight favor to Dexterity for AC.
Choose powers that shows lets you hurt as directly as
possible.
Suggested Fighting Style: Stone Style
Suggested Feat: Quaking Blow (Human feat: Action Surge)
Suggested Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Endurance, Insight, Intimidate, Perception
Suggested At-Will powers: Flurry of Blows, Flicker Strike
Suggested Encounter power: Double Smash
Suggested Daily power: Unstoppable Fury
Passive Martial Artist
You stay away from combat as long as you can,
and try to settle things with words and wisdom, because
you know that your enemy has no chance of winning.
Strength is usefull to you without doubt, but Wisdom should
be a close second. Dexterity is of course good for you
since it still gives AC and bonuses to some of your powers.
Choose powers for conditions and effects more than damage.
Suggested Fighting Style: Water Style
Suggested Feat: Improved Initiative (Human feat: Human Perseverence)
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Acrobatics, Diplomacy, Heal, Insight, Perception
Suggested At-Will powers: Soft Strike, Stone Hammer
Suggested Encounter power: Stunning Blow

[Sblock=Features]Unarmed Focus:
Martial Artists are Proficient with their Unarmed Attacks, be it fist, foot or face.
They gain a +3 Proficiency bonus to attacks and their damage is 1d8.
The Martial Artists unarmed attacks count as armed when working with feats, for
example the Two-Weapon feat chain.
The Martial Artist also receives a +2 Proficiency bonus to Grab checks.
Unarmored Focus:
When wearing no or cloth armor the Martial Artist gain a bonus to AC equal to +2.
Flurry of Blows:
The Martial Artist have access to the Flurry of Blows at-will power.(Please look into the possible
overpoweredness of this feature, Personally I like it, since it fits a MA and its different from other
strikers extra damage)
Martial Artists Special Weapons:
These Weapons can be used in Martial Artist Powers with the Weapon Keyword.
Kama, Nunchaku, Quarterstaff, Sai, Unarmed
If a Martial Artists hands are full, he can still do unarmed attacks with kicks, elbows or the like.
If he uses a power that grants more than one attack, he may use
one of the Sais for one of the attacks and then use a unarmed for the second, both Sais
or two unarmed attacks.
Fighting Style:
Stone: Get Toughness feat and gain access to the Stone Stance.
Water: Get Defensive Mobility feat and gain access to the Water Stance
Meditations:
A Martial Artist has access to Meditations, a category of Rituals. The Martial Artists only gain access to Meditations, unless they also take the Ritual Caster feat.
At first lvl a Martial Artist starts with 2 meditations, after that gains 2 meditations every 4th lvl after that (4,8,12 etc).
Any of the special kinds of components can be used for meditation rituals.
The only way a non-Martial Artist can use Meditations is by taking the Meditation Learning feat, meditations can't be bought in books or scrolls, they must be learned by oneself. A Meditation gained from a feat or class feature is mastered at the time that the character gains them.

the destruction of foes, Dexterity and Wisdom should

possible.

be a close second. Dexterity is of course good for you

Kama, Nunchaku, Quarterstaff, Sai, Unarmed
If a Martial Artists hands are full, he can still do unarmed attacks with kicks, elbows or the like.
If he uses a power that grants more than one attack, he may use
one of the Sais for one of the attacks and then use a unarmed for the second, both Sais
or two unarmed attacks.

Meditations:
A Martial Artist has access to Meditations, a category of Rituals. The Martial Artists only gain access to Meditations, unless they also take the Ritual Caster feat.
At first lvl a Martial Artist starts with 2 meditations, after that gains 2 meditations every 4th lvl after that (4,8,12 etc).
Any of the special kinds of components can be used for meditation rituals.
The only way a non-Martial Artist can use Meditations is by taking the Meditation Learning feat, meditations can't be bought in books or scrolls, they must be learned by oneself. A Meditation gained from a feat or class feature is mastered at the time that the character gains them.
