The Grand Master:
The Grand Masters have dedicated their lives to traveling the world and mastering various forms of Martial Arts. They are not content with the standard styles taught in villages and monasteries, they seek the exotic, and mystical.
Once they have learned a style, they will move on seeking to master and improve upon what they were taught. They do this with ease, for each Grand Master is a martial arts savant. It is as if they were destine to be masters before birth.
While they have great respect for the Warrior Monks that travel the land, they see their martial style as too limited in focus.
The Grand Master has traveled the land and discovered four training manuals for lost and mystical styles. Such is their Martial prowess that they are able to easily learn the style through these manuals.
To utilize the Grand Masters various styled new fist weapons have been placed in the game. Floating Fist, Closed Fist, Hidden Fist, and Legendary Fist. Using one of these fists weapons in the right hand will change the Idle fighting stance the Grand Master uses. While most attacks do not require one of these fists, some do, and the most powerful will require one of these fists in the right and left hand.
The Ronin:
The Ronin or Wave Man/Woman is a traveling soldier who throws in on the cause of their choice. They wander the land perfecting their combat skills in battle after battle.
The greatest of them all was a swordsman named Miyamoto Musashi. This Ronin wrote what would become the key philosophy of many warriors to come. He titled this The Book of 5 Rings, which contained the chapters Fire, Air, Earth, Water, and Void.
The Ronin lives and dies by Musashis book as they walk the land. In this their schools are each a represented as one of the elemental rings in name.
The Ronin has 3 skill trees with 12 skills in each tree. All but the Void tree contains two elemental schools.
Like the Grand Master the Ronin utilizes various stances based on the weapons they are using. We have added Katana weapons to the game, these are broken down into Basic, Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. Each weapon also has its own idle stance.
