Well, I like the old system, except the creation process. I found it took
too many points, so I changed it to make it easier on players making a
martial artist. (If anyone wants, I can give 'em the URL to my house rules.)

I haven't seen the new system, but I most likely will get Hexarcana.



To answer the question, "Are MAs unbalancing?" 

I say no. As some others have said, I believe the problem is that your
Marshal put you up against opposition that were too good. Your posse had no
guns, and no fightin' ability. (Or at least one of you did.) The opposition
was all MAs, with fightin' ability and probably near-full on the Chi points. 

If you had your guns, you could have shot them from a distance. And don't
forget about things like overawe, ridicule and bluff, if you have them.
Every player should have one of 'em.

Hope that helps.
