So I stole an old idea and split the human body to three; body, mind and energy.

The below means what the example class is mainly focused on, NOT WHAT THEY ONLY ARE. Because a human with only one aspect isn't a complete human/ living being.

Body as in physical, classes/ jobs include warrior, barbarian etc

Mind as in mental, classes/ jobs include wizard, artificer

Note that I use D&D class out of convenience.

Energy is the oddball here.

I don't really know how or what it is and just gave a vague effect of "above human stamina, the ability to fire off energy blasts and encase oneself in a mana coat" and called it a day

I already have plans to put any deity suckling classes here, such as clerics, knights (paladins), warlocks (demon worshipper). Then there is wild magic sorceror, witches as well as cultivators because they suck qi. That's it.

And then I ask myself this question, would the JinYong style Wuxia and Neigong (Nei Qi) be mainlining Body or Energy?

On first thought, I went with Energy because Qi. But then I also recall that the martial arts in Wuxia tends more on fisticuffs and less of energy blast (only at higher elo) and believe that at its basis, wuxia is more on Body.

But what do you think? Can you give me your reasoning?
