Wuxia published RPGs and campaigns

[tecnowraith]

Does anyone know any published RPGs or campaigns that does Wuxia? L5R to me is not Wuxia. Exatled I know already but not liking the multiple "template race" books. D&D and Book of 9 Swords of course but getting tired of "class" system. Any RPG systems that can do wuxia style combat, systems that can do cool things in combat depending on which style of fighting you choose?

Dragonfist had a bit of it.

GURPS 4e with GURPS Martial Arts supports lots of distinct fighting styles and techniques and has options for playing anything from gritty realistic martial arts to the most implausible cinemartial arts you can think of. And being GURPS it handles many dimensions of the game besides combat.

Weapons of the Gods

I bought this recently. It was a really good read and I hope to have the chance to run a test-run for my group soon.

Been wandering would Mutants and Masterminds with their supplement book Mecha and Manga work with my concept? The idea is to do a Sword and Planet style game inspired greatly from Wuxia genre. It's gonna be science fantasy with martia arts out the wazoo. i am wanting outrageous, over-top fighting, magic or chi powers and high-tech that the players have access too. And Sooga we talked about your game and I'm still reading it.

Feng Shui has a few flaws - consider decoupling the attack and defense scores for NPCs - but it remains one of my favorite systems of all time.
