Notice

The following rules are from an out of date rule-set

A Monk Archetype from the Book of Engoku.

Description

Wushu are disciples of a school of martial arts. There are literally hundreds of schools of martial arts, each having its own style and philosophy. The two most powerful, though, are Kung-Fu and Shaolin. Wushu live in constant struggle with bandits, local warlords, yakuza, Sohei, and occasionally even other Wushu from competing schools. With few exceptions Wushu believe in peace above all, but accept that in the real world one must be able to protect themselves, their families, and their community.

Garb

Kung Fu Wushu wear black garments with off color cuffs, buttons, and collars. Shaolin Wushu wear loose-fitting orange garb with black or white boots.

Essential Abilities

The Monk class was written almost specifically for the Wushu, so everything applies.

Role-Playing Notes

While you are encouraged to learn the kata (forms) of the various schools of martial arts, I must remind you to keep your hands off of other players. That being said, learning the kata and stances will help you add flair to your combat style. Wushu are enlightened people, and only use their skills to benefit others.

Weaponry

Wushu are trained in a wide array of weapons, and will use whatever is convenient or most effective.
