[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4595292, member: 2067"] In my mind, the "Mythical Asia" classes won't ALL be ki. Heck, you don't even need a separate ki power source at all. Samurai: Martial; though how they make this distinct from the Fighter or the Warlord I won't know. Ninja: Shadow (think about it!); treads the same ground as the Assassin, really. Monk: Martial (More for the wuxia) or even Psionic (again, it works better than you might think!). Shugenja: Elemental. I mean, [I]duh[/I]. ;) If Ki is a distinct power source, I see the monk and the ninja and perhaps the samurai going that path, but not the Shugenja. Power sources have more distinct flavor than that, it seems (all Primal powers cause shape-shifting to some degree, all Martial powers are physical, etc.). Ki powers might be more "wuxia action" kind of flavor, sort of "martial turned up to 11!" That could be distinct, but I guess it's a little unnecessary in my mind. But my mind doesn't have any problem with "martial" meaning "wahoo," and perhaps WotC needs to appease... [/QUOTE]
