The Forest-Killers

Return to Ronin Schools

Rank 1

Honor: 0.5

Outfit: Same as Ronin.

Benefit: Same as Ronin Duelist

Skills: Same as Ronin bushi. Replace 2 free skills with Stealth and Knives.

Technique: Fool's Harvest

Recieve a Free Raise on all Stealth rolls. If you attack an opponent from Surprise, you automatically gain the higher initiative next round on the same target. Both of these effects may only be used in a natural environment.

Rank 2

Technique: Canopy of Knives

Kuso has applied his keen mind to develop another technique for his new “family”. The fighting technique involves taking an opponent by surprise and then overpowering them with fierce and quick overhand strikes with short blades. The Forest-Killer gains +5 to his initiative when using a tanto or aiguchi to attack, and may make two strikes per round with the weapon. In addition, if he has initiative over his opponent, the Forest-Killer gains a Free Raise with each attack with the knife.

Note: The Canopy of Knives Technique has never seen print, to this point. It was originally posted by Shawn Carman on the Alderac forums. --Daermon 22:03, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)
