Outsourcing to Mystic China

I was re-reading my collection and was reminded how useful a Chun Tzu or Nei Chia Wu Shih can be to a 1e BTS confrontation. They start with saving throw bonuses against horror and possession. A 1st level Gui Long fencer with Enlightenment Strike could force out a possessing entity in one round with no save, as opposed to the 36+ minutes a psychic healer required. If they were Nei Chia they might be able to follow up with the ceremony of unction or fulfilling of the vow to prevent reentry.

A fighter could use Ba Gua or Shao Lin's Yin-Yang Chi kata or Gui Long to damage incorporeal beings, comparing favorably to 2e Ghost Hunters and Mediums. Other useful powers include horror factor bonuses from Control Revulsion or Sung Chi, and the supernatural attacks Radiate Positive Chi or Chi Ball.

They would likely be better suited to being in Nightbane to be honest.

Same goes for Ninjas and Superspies which was the world Pre-Dark Day, at least in my head.
