Introduction:
From
out of the ranks of the Sisters of the Sightless Eye come the Martial
Artists, a sect which disdains the use of all weapons. Having honed their
bodies to perfection and learned to harness their inner Ki, Martial Artists
have no need of weapons.
Class:
Rogue ( Martial Artists of Warrior or Sorceror stock are possible, but
the lack of inherent ToHit% and AC would impede them greatly)
Tag: (MAR)
Allowed Weapons:
None. Martial Artists spend their lives honing their bodies to be the
perfect weapon, and disdain the use of anything else. Yes, this means
no shields
Allowed Armor:
Only armor that would not impede their movements (Rags, Cape, Cloak, leather
armor) may be used. Mail and Plate armor impedes their movement too greatly
for them to take advantage of their quickness and agility
Allowed Helms:
Only headgear that does not hinder their senses of sight or hearing (Cap,
Skull Cap, Crown) may be worn.
Being comparitively
lightly armored compared to other characters, Martial Artists must depend
upon their senses to alert them of any danger
Allowed Jewelry:
All. Jewelry in no way hampers movement, and in some cases enhances agility.
Allowed Prefixes/Suffixes:
All
Allowed Spells:
All Martial Artists are trained to notice threats in their surroundings
(Detect Traps), some even have the skill to repair damaged items (Repair).
All Martial Artists are trained from birth to focus their Ki, letting
them perform feats other people may consider magic. A Martial Artist can
detect the Ki of nearby life (Infravision), move things through the power
of their Ki (Telekinesis), focus their Ki so as to speed their metabolism
(Healing), and some have even been known to speed others' metabolism (Heal
Other). Martial Artists of advanced rank have been known to use their
Ki to travel through solid objects (Phasing/Teleport). Some Martial Artists
have displayed the ability to surround themselves with their Ki, protecting
them from harm (Mana Shield), and others have been known to entrap others
with their Ki (Stone Curse). Still others have gained the ability to step
from one place to another instantaneously, by harnessing their Ki (Town
Portal). Some Martial Artists, those of highest rank, have been known
to imbue inanimate material with portions of their Ki (Golem)
Martial Artists, being
followers of the Inner Way, acknowledge no gods or dieties, and so may
not make use of Shrines, Goat Shrines, or Cauldrons.
