[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 9666863"] I would definitely make wudang an internal school. I have some thoughts on that below. And I have a couple of viewing recommendations if you haven't seen them. This is probably a bit subjective. One thought is because he failed to stave of the poison, maybe he doesn't have Awakening the Golden Lantern and was just using his regular meditation skill to the best of his ability. But I would also say, internal martial arts covers enough ground that he can still be good at fighting with it. You can probably get away with having him be good at Lightness Martial Arts and Internal because internal can still cover thing like swordplay (if you take a look at Sword Goddess and her abilities in RBRB those are Internal approaches to the sword). Just to give an idea of how versatile internal martial arts are in RBRB, these three abilities are all internal: [ATTACH type="full" width="476px" alt="1747956881738.png"]406264[/ATTACH] Also if you haven't checked them out, you may want to watch Bride with White Hair and Tai Chi Master. Those could be useful to you here. I took extensive notes the last time I read the book Bride with White Hair is based on, and had about half of the Wudang techniques mentioned in that story described (I was just trying to find the notes but I am not sure I have them anymore otherwise I would post them here for you). But if you check out the online translation of Baifa Monu Zhuan, that gets into wudang and their swordplay abilities. I was going to do a Bride with White Hair campaign so I made a point of writing down the techniques that appeared in the story You can do this for sure, and I think there are a number of different ways to read what Li Mubai is doing (Jeremy has probably thought about this more than me so I may ask for his opinion here). But if you do go this direction, I think you might want to make this ability a little more potent, as it is going to be a full SA slot. My gut tells me you can make this one a bit more powerful without worrying too much.
