[DF] Invisibility Art for the Martial Artist?

[Phex]

Invisibilty Art requires "Trained By A Master, and both Hypnotism and Stealth at 14+." (B202) However, Hypnotism seems a Bard-exclusive skill (DF1:21). So how can the Martial Artist take Invisibilty Art without multi-classing?

[Nosforontu]

Probably a perk or small unusual back ground cost, if the GM agrees that it is appropriate to the character

Invisibility Art isn't on the Martial Artist template. Play a Ninja if you want it.

Invisibility Art is a Chi skill, isnt it? Do requirements vanish for special skills?

It isn't on the list of special skills for the Martial Artist. It is on the list for Ninja. I suspect this is deliberate niche protection.

Alright, I figured it out. The Chi skill list formerly seemed to confuse me. Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Okay, I am still confused. Why is Invisibilty Art a Chi skill if the Martial Artist cant have it although the Chi skill list says "Those with any points in Chi Mastery can learn..."? Who is addressed with "those" here then?

Take a look at DF 1 p. 22.
