Yup, we were playing RQ2 back when the movie came out, and used that as an example of how damage gets through shields.

These days, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is our example for Movement feats.

That's what we did in the King of Dragon Pass artwork.

The important thing as far as I'm concerned is that the Orlanthi are different in different places. The Irish seemed like the most isolated of the Celts so they were my model for Ralios, which I think is pretty isolated from Dragon Pass. But you might decided that Fronela is isolated and deserves them.
