Line 101:
* ''[[Hong Kong Action Theatre]]'' may be a better example of this trope in tabletop games than ''[[Feng Shui]]''. In this game, every character, whether they specialize in melee, gunplay, sorcery, or just kicking ass [[Martial Arts Movie]] style, knows Kung Fu. You even get to select your character's specific style of Kung Fu upon creation!
* The RPG ''[[Weapons Of The Gods]]'', and (one assumes) [[Adaptation Displacement|the Taiwanese comic book on which it's based.]]
* One officially listed campaign suggestion for ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' is to have everyone be a gestalt monk (basically, add in the abilities of the monk class on top of whatever actual class any character has), specifically to evoke this kind of feeling in a campaign.
* Since it hasn't been listed before, the [[Exalted]] companion book "Scroll of the Monk" suggests using this trope liberally and with gusto should one of the PCs be looking for a hidden martial arts master.
