Martial Artist

Rogue Specialization Requirements: Rogue, Dexterity 3 or higher, Dexterity (acrobatics) focus.

Martial artists train a philosophy of combat in which they value skill over strength. Instead of overwhelming an oponent with physical strength or raw stamina, they use their refined technique to control the flow of battle and turn their enemy’s strengths against them. Martial artists must choose a specific weapon to master, and the following bonuses apply only when wielding the chosen weapon. A Martial Artist may take this specialization again to choose another weapon.
