One-Handed Fighting
The Matukai Adept treats the Wan-Shen as a Medium-size weapon rather than a Large weapon.

Resistance to Disease/Poison
At 2nd level, the Matukai Adept learns to purge illness and poisons from his body before they can harm him. He gains a +10 resistance bonus on all Fortitude saves against poisons and diseases.

Weapon Kata
At 3rd level, once per game session, when the Matukai Adept makes a full attack action against a single target with the Wan-Shen, he gains an additional unarmed attack against the same target. The attack is at his full attack bonus and deal normal damage for the weapon.

This free attack can be used to perform a disarm or trip attack. If used to disarm, the attack gains a +4 bonus. If used to trip, a failed roll does not allow the target to attempt to trip the Matukai Adept in return.

At 4th level, the Matukai Adept gets a bonus feat. This feat must be selected from the following list, and the Matukai Adept must meet any prerequisites.
Advanced Martial Arts, Agile Riposte, Body Adjustment, Burst of Speed, Dodge, Dual Strike, Endurance, Improved Disarm, Improved Martial Arts, Improved Trip, Mettle, Stamina, Toughness, Unbalance Opponent

Soft to Solid
Matukai Adepts spend much time learning the way their bodies move and function, mastering the ability to make normally soft parts of their body become incredibly rigid and tough. At 5th level, as a move action, the Matukai Adept may give his flesh incredibly rigidity for 1d4 rounds, giving him DR 2. This damage reduction stacks with DR provided by manufactured armor.
