Chinese Master Martial Artist

This character sheet represents the master martial artist. Generally, this is an old wizened guy who can help the player characters defeat a powerful foe, but it could equally well represent a younger, naive but well trained Shaolin monk - or a nun trained in Wing Chun - or a scholar well versed in Wu Shu. In other words, depending on the package of skills taken, this sheet can represent any powerful martial artist: an aged master, an unusually skillful Shih or warrior monk or even the bad guy's trusted lieutenant.
