That said, they haven't been part of the shamans that I use. For the Shamans of eastern trinalia, I let them substitute other feats for the martial arts feats. It is the shamanistic take on spells and domains that I find productive.See my last reply.Actually, I replace them with prestige classes with similar prereqs.You betcha.Soft martial arts might have better will saves where hard martial arts have better attack bonuses and fort saves. Many martial arts teach different skills sets. Some may teach perform with their dance like moves. Others may focus on acrobatics.Most importantly, there is more room to grow. Under the OA paradigm, you can only add so many martial arts before you discover there are similar feat prereq's for multiple style benefits. You don't have this problem with styles as prestige classes... you actually have to take levels in the class to enjoy the benefits.</blockquote>
