"...what do the templates look like?

Given that a powerful Wushu character can have a full statblock that's only a half-dozen words long (Anakin: Jedi 4, Pilot 5, Cyborg 3, Whiny Bitch 1) I'm wondering just how much less detailed the templates can be."

Well, here's a quote from the book, the "Blooddancer template": (I hope Dan won't sue me.)

Blood Dancer
Half warrior & half performer, blood dancers live for the roar of the crowd and the adoration of their fans. Some bank on their beauty, while others adorn themselves in the
manner of street predators, selling themselves as the bad guy fans love to hate. Every dancer’s time in the lime light
is short, however, and most end up as bodyguards, thugs, or mentors to a new generation of blood dancers.

Sample Traits:
• Smackdown (5) Fighting with blades and fists.
• Showmanship (4) Trash talk, workin’ a crowd.
• Fame (3) Has fans all over the city.
• Dramatic (1) “Stealth? What’s that?"

Stuff:
• Big, flashy weapons (broad sword, spear, whip, etc).
• Shiny (or skimpy) costume armor.
• A pen (for signing autographs).
