One of my players is now running a wandering mystic from Kralorela seeking out Draconic and Mystic secrets of the west. However there's next to diddly in the official source material about the martial arts and magic systems which seem to be at the core of these characters. A vague mention of some ideas and that's about it. We'll work through it fine I'm sure but I'm guessing someone must have come up against this problem before as I'm sure I've seen some previous thread about this.
I was thinking fighting schools (School of the Insects, School of the Serpent, School of the Dragon etc) with philosophies tied in some abstract way to a group of inspiring creatures. Each School is associated with a particular cultural stream/region within Kralorela and has a few associated styles (e.g. Mantis, Wasp, Butterfly for Bug School). Each style may be unarmed or armed with a few select 'oriental' weapons, have one or two special combat manouevres favoured by or available exclusively to the school, and the ability to manifest 2 or 3 'draconic' magic style powers (And possibly a favoured Heroic Ability (Costing Magic Points perhaps?). Anyway fingers crossed someone out there's made some progress. If not I'll try to find time to post something if we ever find the time to work it all out!
