I am trying to think of a "Martial arts mastery" which was along the lines of the old Oriental Adventures 3.0 martial arts masteries (i.e. collect a lot of feats and skills ranks to get some benefit). I could have sworn that there was a sidebar in an Eberron book, which might have been the only referrence to these "martial arts masteries" in 3.5. However, I absolutely cannot find it in any book. Did I imagine it, or is it some other non-Eberron book, or can I just not find it?

As far as I can remember, the martial arts masteries you write of are found only in Oriental Adventures. Fantasy martial arts are the realm of the Tome of Battle: the Book of Nine Swords, which is fully restricted in XenEx (to the joy or dismay of many).
FaintestInkling 02-04-07, 09:13 PM	The "martial art" I was trying to think of was "Word Given Form Mastery" from Tome of Magic p. 218. Obviously, I now remember that this is not a XE legal book (nor an Eberron book).
