Re: the easterners and mysticism.
I wonder if the ki skills in the Ninja pack were an early attempt
to do this. To attach magical powers to high skills based on ones
insight into reality seems a fair system. It can produces the
kind of Kralorela I would like to see: sword masters cutting people
up at a distance, guided throwing knives, and especially people
making half-mile leaps!
Have I watched too many Hong Kong Fantasy Martial Arts Films?
No, you can't watch too many Hong Kong Fantasy Martial Arts Films!
Seriously, fantasy martial arts films are the closest things to
eastern fantasy that are produced today. I'd like to see Kralorela
as a setting to produce those kind of adventures, and I think an
expanded ki skill system would be both workable and fun.
