So I went back to Japanese history and samurai techniques use in real life and came up with the basic four combat styles described above, which any clan samurai could become specialized in, as all four are valuable in combat and to focus on just one style within a given clan, would be martially weak. However, clans do have preferences, and when I develop the full list all the clans combat style preferences would be listed under each.I plan to expand the Monk-ish aspects and use of Ki Pool among all classes of Kaidan, as Ki powers are intrinsically Asian and truly belong among the peoples of Kaidan. Though each class would have varying levels of access and each it own set of Ki pool features or abilities to access.Similar to how Ancestral Weapon feat is accessable to all classes of Kaidan, though the Samurai has the fastest progression in selecting its stacked features.GP</blockquote>
