Training in War and Magic

2nd-level  feature

You gain proficiency with light armor, and you gain proficiency with one type of one-handed melee weapon of your choice.

You also gain proficiency in the Performance skill if you don’t already have it.

Sign & Slash Stance

2nd-level School of Ninjutsu feature

You can invoke an elven magic called the Sign & Slash Stance, provided that you aren’t wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield. It graces you with supernatural speed, agility, and focus.

You can use a bonus action to start the Sign & Slash Stance, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you don medium or heavy armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can also dismiss the Sign & Slash Stance at any time (no action required).

While your Sign & Slash Stance is active, you gain the following benefits:

• Your walking speed increases by 10 feet.
• You have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.
• You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a spell. The bonus equals your Dexterity modifier (minimum of +1).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Ritual of Binding

You learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and one weapon.

You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and forge the bond.

Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can't be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand.

The bonded weapon can also be used as a spellcasting focus. You can have only one bonded weapon at a time. If you attempt to bond with a second weapon, you must break the bond with the first one.
