Avatar the Last Airbender as Martial Adepts
Helloooooo Playground!
I highly doubt I'm the only one to have thought of this, so I come to you for help. I was rewatching the last season of Avatar, and having been recently familiarizing myself with the Tome of Battle, something clicked... Why not recreate the benders from avatar as martial adept classes. Some of the conversions could be pretty easy, like Desert Wind Style -> Firebending, or Stone Dragon -> Earthbending.
I'm definitely interested in trying this, however I am 1) very busy and 2) lazy, so I'm hoping someone else might have done something along these lines before. Otherwise, I'll get to work on making a base class and a couple new martial disciplines (maybe all four) for Benders.
So Questions for You:
1. Has anyone else previously done something like this before?
2. Does anyone have any homebrew Martial Disciplines that might be easily converted to Bending Styles?
3. Does anyone else want to help me with this project? Any advice, submissions, criticisms or admonishments are welcome
Thank you very much!

Floating around is an entire campaign sourcebook for benders of all kinds. It's pre-ToB though.

Re: Avatar the Last Airbender as Martial Adepts
Well this is quite useful! Thank you very much! Looks like I'll need to do some work to make more fire/earth bending styles, but at least I have a good start.
I'll probably need to come up with a new class (or four) to be the benders, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Re: Avatar the Last Airbender as Martial Adepts
Actually, you might be OK if you just took the Swordsage and the Warblade and changed their disciplines. Maybe look at the Tome of Tactics homebrew and see if any of those classes would be good styles to add (again, with their disciplines changed to the more bender-y ones).
You can call me Draz.

Re: Avatar the Last Airbender as Martial Adepts
A source that you might want to look into is spellshaping. It's got more bending-like stuff, as well as a class that blends initiating and spellshaping if you want both.
