Bloodstained Tiger (Paired, Saber, Unarmed)

(based substantially on EwindaleMoss' Bloodstained White Tiger style.)

Qualities: No animal better embodies the combination of ferocity, power, and speed than the mighty tiger. Practitioners of this style focus on crippling and then quickly finishing their opponents with brutal and direct attacks. It is popular among warriors and those who favor inducing terror and awe in those who stand against them. Laughs At: The Tiger laughs at victims who give ground or retreat - don't they know the Tiger will never give up? It also laughs at over-clever or elaborate styles; such displays are easily shredded by the tiger's claws. Fears: The tiger grows nervous in the presence of a skilled hunter. Their snares and strikes from range defang the great beast. The Tiger also fears confinement; it is at its most powerful in the wide open plains.

Techniques

Hunting Tiger Rush (2 or 6)

Savage Rending Claw (5)
After landing a strike, the tiger drags its claws, cruelly ripping and tearing flesh and sinew.

• This penalty counts as a Disrupt.
