I agree. Very cool image. And be sure to watch "Fist of the Northstar" and 
other anime, "Showdown in Little China," "Mortal Kombat," "The Last Dragon 
(Who's the Shogun of Harlem?)" and the really wild Chambara flicks that have 
come down the pike lately for cool visuals. I'm dying to find an english 
translation/subtitle of "Storm Riders"

Man, the coolness factor of a Fu Fighter with a bow, using Zen Archery is 
killer...

As for the Damage discussion that's come down the pike, how about a balance 
of they get a bonus of their Spirit +1 so that if they sink the points for a 
4 Spirit (and I can't seeing them not doing so), the trick stays equal with 
the Tough's bonus. I also like the Nerve Strike that's similar to the 
Scrappers trick.

The other idea I had was instead of having the strike bypass armour 
compleatly, like the gunner, have that with every 2 successes, the strike is 
considered AP 5, so with 4 successes, its AP 10, etc? Or, just make it a 
flat AP 10. This way they have a chance to damage the 
Tough/Goliath/Armourgeddon Suit, as well as walls, doors, etc? Which also 
brings up the Dim Mak trick...

I really like this package.
