So, I was watching some Baki on Christmas Eve 2020 when I had an Idea; what if the various Splats, both 'Canonical' (as in Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Promethean, Changeling, Geist, etc, etc) and Fan-Made (such as Genius, Princess, Leviathan, Endless, various types of Dragons (Embers and Inheritance being the most notable) and so on and so on) had their own Martial Arts/Fighting Styles, designed to take advantage of their various supernatural advantages? Naturally, there'd be a lot of variety and plenty of different styles, sub-styles, schools, and what not due to the sheer variety of ways such beings express their powers and what sort of abilities they'd have 'unlocked' and/or 'researched'.
Heck, we could just as easily structure them like Merit/Micro-Templates that are only truly available in full to a suitable variety of supernatural practitioner, with other super naturals substituting the closest equivalents they have of the necessary powers and mortals only really being able to master the physical side of it (and maybe mental, spiritual and philosophical sides as well), due to them lacking the required metaphysical backing, mystical 'channels', occult 'reservoirs' and arcane juju to truly make use of it.
What do you lot think?
