Blade Master

Way of the Sword

They call themselves "Jen'e'tai", an ancient word meaning "the Path of Truth." The finest swordsmen the realms of Humans have ever produced, Blade Masters learn to strike with uncanny speed, and can become whirlwinds of steel.

Special Gear

Blade Masters receive access to a special Blade Master-only two handed sword called a "Long Blade" (the 100% will give +15 and the 110% +20 Sword skill) available at a rank seven swordsmith, and a resource (110% Blademastery) version called a Jen'e'tai. This sword uses Dexterity instead of Strength to determine its maximum damage, unlike most other swords.

Blade Masters also receive access to 100% skill Light Armor called Blade Master armor which has a baked-in effect of +1 Dexterity per item.
