   I would call the chi powers used in Crouching Tiger Et. al. To be magic. 
 Or, TFT can be adopted to Chi by using magic.  In TFT terms the heroes of 
the movie were warriors with spells.  Maybe vice versa.  In some super hero 
campaigns I have let heroes get spells and talents at cost.  No doubling or 
3pt spells.  I think most of the chi powers shown could be covered by TFT 
spells, down to the weapon poison and the magic sword.
   Here are some old house rules about warrior abilities that spells don?t 
quite cover.  Crouching Tiger. . .  I think, was mandarin.  Unfortunately 
the names below are Japanese.


Iajutsu(2) 10IQ  The much practiced ability to draw out of the sheath and 
strike with a sword (traditionally katana) in one fluid motion so that the 
unsheathing and the attacking are indistinguishable.  One can ready and use 
the sheathed weapon in one turn.  This may only be done with one handed 
weapons.

Katana     2+1   Japanese bastard sword
Katana     2+2   two handed damage
Wakazashi  2-1   Japanese ?companion? sword



Yadomekutsu(2) 13IQ  Literally means ?arrow cutting?.  Character can ?cut? 
thrown or missile weapons right out of the air the instant before they are 
in front of the defender.  The number of arrows and thrown weapons that may 
be ?cut? from the air is equal to the number of points the DX roll was made 
by.  For instance a character with a 14DX who rolls a 10 would ?cut? five 
projectiles down before they could harm anyone.  The word ?cut? is used 
figuratively.  Yadomekutsu may be used with a polearm shaft or even a club.
