'Monk'eying around with cross source materials
« on: April 28, 2011, 07:41:02 PM »
Was just idly looking for things that'd be fun to convert from other systems into 3.5/PF. Focusing more on the conceptual level than on the gritty details of how they actually work.

What if Monks had styles based on Terrestrial Martial Arts, Celestial Martial Arts and Sidereal Martial Arts to tap into in place of most of the existing monk baggage. Including proficiency and affinity with the style weapons as special monk weapons(and making RL martial arts into Terrestrial styles).

EDIT: For those who don't know where to start looking, Five Dragon Style, Water Dragon Style and Border of Kaleidoscopic Logic are fairly good examples of each tier.

The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"
