[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7981770, member: 6802951"] I believe that there may be confusion between the concept of "styles" as a common usage for a particular way of doing things, and "styles" as a game term in 5e D&D. I believe that Chaosmancer was using the term in its general use to denote different martial arts traditions, and not the bonuses that a fighter picks for specific weapon configurations. I think that it is likely that he was referring to the list of martial arts styles that he had posted just beforehand, which would seem to support that interpretation. You mean like PCs being able to rapidly learn things that NPCs might need to devote their entire career to? Like martial arts or, indeed, [I]magic[/I]. Again, there is confusion between the term "martial arts" representing a formal school of fighting, and the D&D game term used as a name for a specific class feature. I also believe that you are factually incorrect in your claim to know how Chaosmancer used the term. However, I would appreciate an explanation as to what you mean when you call the list of martial arts styles "ridiculous". What about them did you find ridiculous? Just like you can adjust things like the way people learn magic? You can require wizards to spends decades learning how to cast cantrips or not. - Its up to you. [/QUOTE]
