(I've been doing changes elsewhere to affect fighters, so you build martial artist warriors who don't get the supernatural abilities).(Note:  I dumped the static unarmed damage increase, and made it that at 10th level you get a damage increase and at 5th & 15th level an extra attack.)[spoiler]### Martial ArtsStarting at 1st level, due to your combat training you gain a martial arts fighting style of your choice from the options below.Regardless of the number of times you hit a target, they only make one saving throw against any carrier effects from your unarmed attack.  The saving throw for
