The problem is, historically, we wind up with a super-narrow class that basically has to boggart everything about Martial-Arts to itself and bind them forever in the theme and background of Eastern Mysticism and Monasticism - which doesn't even support all the Eastern Cultural archetypes that are martial artists, let alone fantasy archetypes.No. You shouldn't be using a theme for that. That should come with the package of being a Fighter (Martial Artist). If your fighting style is "beat the snot out of people with Ku-Fung" you get Fighter Hit Dice, to-hit bonuses, bonus attacks, weapon proficiency, Combat Superiority and you trade out your Armor Proficiency for Unarmored Fighting. Spend your background on Monastic Life (or not, maybe your tough-luck street-fighter always looking for a stronger opponent or a prestigious royal guard rocking out of those braids that runs down to your knee)Spend your theme on whatever complements your Martial-Arts style - maybe something violent and extroverted or something passive and introverted. Yin vs. Yang has a pretty awesome vibe. What powers? Extra damage dice when you hit? Two extra attacks per day? Trading out damage dice to push, knock down, disarm, or stun enemies? With most of what the fighter does being agnostic as to what exactly you want to hit them with it seems like a clean fit.- Marty Lund</blockquote>
