Swordsman




Swordsmen are warriors who rely on quick reflexes, superior tactics, and
perfect skill with their swords. Swordsmen usually fight with two swords
or sword-like weapons. Their fight usually comprises of series of finesses
and subtle skills, together often forming combos which cause special effects
otherwise undreamt of. Swordsmen are true artists of combat. Most of their
skills are about sword usage, and swordsman without swords is nothing.
However, swordsman with swords is someone who must be counted with, even with
old half-rusted swords. Swordsmen use no magic, but their superb knowledge of
swordfight allows them to perform deeds which can seem magical.

Legendary Skills

Path of Inner Warrior

Some swordsmen are more attuned to their inner voice than others. For some this goes to such a degree that they can open up an inner well of mystical power. And by mystical it really means magic. While swordsman doesn\'t gain the ability to cast spells, she can train to gain mana reserves of her own and then she can use them to draw upon this mystical inner warrior. She can learn to channel elemental energy through this inner connection, producing powerful fire and cold effect, depending on which way the elemental energy flows. She can also use her inner warrior to help her overcome mental assault or, alternatively, send her mental energy out along her blades as outbursts of psychical attacks.

Bladedancer

Blandedancer doesn\'t fight. Bladedancer dances. Her movements acquire sublime grace, up to the point that they feel magical and can produce all kinds of effects, depending on what kind of dance she performs. To generate these magical effects is exhausting, however, and the longer swordsman holds given rhythm, the more demanding it is and she would eventually collapse unless she changes to another rhythm. But even when she changes her dance to different rhythm, with sufficient mastery the effects of previous dance linger for a while.
