Lunars and Martial Arts

Some folks showed a lot of displeasure with the rules granted in the Exalted Player’s Guide on Lunars and supernatural martial arts styles. Personally, I think that this is rather thematic. Lunars don’t emulate jack. They become what they want to be. Martial arts are anti-thematic to their natures. Also, Lunars have never been vouched as esteemed martial artists. Yet, if you gave Lunars the right amount of Sidereal or Celestial martial arts, they were just flat-out better then anyone else at them due to their combo rules.

The only change I’d make to the rules as printed is that you can combo reflexive-type Lunar Charms with Martial Arts. Not being able to combo say, Deadly Claw Blow makes sense. Not being able to use Bowing Reed Method makes Lunars useless defensively.
