Samurai
(BASE CLASS)

Samurai are professional warriors, members of the noble class who are trained in the arts of warfare. They are not only trained for their role in society, they are born for it into a system of allegiance, loyality, and honor that influences every stage of their lives. A samurai cut loose from this system is no longer a samurai; he is an ordinary fighter, a ronin with no honor and no standing in society.

Ancestral Daisho
All samurai have two masterwork weapons - a katana and a wakizashi. These are weapons that belonged to the samurais ancestors, and protecting the weapons is an important point of honor for the samurai. As a samurai acquires treasure through adventuring, he has the option of awakening the supernatural abilities latent in the weapons. He may spend gold or sacrifice items to further enchant his weapon.
