[QUOTE="Rasyr, post: 304218, member: 2855"] The idea is for the DM to customize the list of available abilities according to different schools and/or styles...... Not all abilities should be available to every character. Additionally, you can always adjust the number of abilties gained, and so forth.... This is a basic system. In many cases it will require customization, of that I do not deny, but I will not change the basic system itself as it does work very well... Also, the Crane Stance is like a Fighter picking up a shield to go with his Chain Armor. Iron Palm just moves up the damage advancement for a Monk a little faster. For non-monks, it makes it a little more monk like (note: for most monks, I would not allow them to take Iron Palm without a really good background story element involved. In my games, all things learned and/or gained must be accounted for in the character's history). Wind in the Reeds: is NOT as powerful as a regular Feat.
