Other than their names (e.g. Stone Ox, Iron Hand, etc.), I don't see how exercises can be made into Morphus traits.

I certainly allow characters to learn N&SS/Mystic China martial arts (and the powers that go with them), but I had not considered making them part of the Morphus aspect.
The Body Hardenings are a matter of training, while the Morphus is anything but.
I don't think the inclusion of Martial Arts and Martial Arts Powers will be a disbalancing factor, I just don't think they are the tool you're looking for in this case either.

just let them take martial arts as normal and learn them the normal way. I do.

and besides, they'd be pathetically weak for talents.

ya know Iw as thinking somethign like this for re.writing my idea of aNightbane martial artist. Essentially Anightbane took any martial art he wishes, but instead of usual Martial art power got Morphus trait(for Body hardening and permanent powers) or Talents(for the other martiala rt powers). So a A Nightbane Martial artist tend to get more talents and morphus traits than normal as he gorw in experience.
