Mystics will have a basic pool of powers that all mystics pull from.? Then they will also get powers from a choosen celestial region.? I'm still milling over what, if anything, the celestial mansions should be.? This is just ground work atm. Note, this is Chinese mythology, not korean/japenese buddist/etc/etc/etc.

Man that title threw me.  I was thinking "DC rejects pirates but wants to include trees with mystic powers!"
If we can hit that bulls-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.? Check-mate!

There will be no fucking pirates.  Unless I have a gay bar<The Drunken Pirate,lol> for sam.

All Pirates want are your booty so yeah of course they are going to be stuck at the gay bar.

As much as I love pirates they wouldn't add anything good to the game so lets get back on topic.

I get the direction/element combo part and how that would probably be used; but, what is the "Name Translation" part supposed to be for?

I had an idea for mystics to use the attacks and maneuvers from the combat skill system but I don't have time to go over that in detail right now. However in brief the system would basically intertwine powers/attacks and powers/maneuvers at the same time. This would use simple spell like commands like afst (attack fire style) to trigger a combat routine with a set of attacks each attack would trigger a Power (spell) the powers would be in a set theme and diminish the chi of the mystic as they get used.

Off the top of my head example:

Fire Style:

Attacks:
Fiery Fist of  fury
- PC punches you with his fiery fists of fury for X damage!
- The fiery punch burns you for X damage!
Blazing Vortex Kick = kick with Dot fire damage
- PC attacks you with a blazing vortex kick for X damage!
- A fiery vortexs erupts around you, you take X damage!
Setting Sun Kick = kick with fire damage
- PC attacks you with his setting sun kick for X damage!
- The fiery kick burns you for X damage!
Manuevers:
Side Step:
- from standard manuever list
Burning Ember Counter:
- PC blocks your attack with his burning ember counter!
- Burning embers pelt you for X damage!

I thought using a proto class to start those classes would actually reduce starting story content at first. I think you were probably frustrated at that point or you just didn't like the idea and said you liked it just to confuse us more.
