School of the Cat

Cat students hone their balance by walking a tightrope blindfolded. Failure is easy to shrug off at first, but throughout their training, the walk gets higher and the danger increases. The Cats developed fighting styles focusing on speed, precision, and agility. One of these styles was Addan Aenye, created by the elf Nissail. As a result, Cat school witchers as well as their equipment do not deal a lot of raw damage, but can inflict deadly critical hits. By extension, their gear was designed to maximize flexibility and provide the greatest possible range of motion.

Cat School Techniques

Witchers of the school of the cat focus on quick, precise blows, misdirection, speed and stealth to take out their enemies.  Cat witchers prefer light weapons and armor, gaining benefits from using them.  You gain proficiency in stealth, and acrobatics.   While wearing light armor and using a light weapon your critical hit chance is increased by 5%. Cat school blades, especially their silver swords are exceptionally well balanced and light compared to their contemporaries.  Finding the perfect moment to strike usually results in a quick death for those who find themselves on the wrong end of a cat witcher's blade.

Feline Speed and Agility

A witcher's superhuman speed and the training of the school of the cat create some of the most terrifying swordsman in the world. You can now use your bonus action to dash, hide or disengage. Once per turn using your superhuman speed and precision, after you make an attack, you can immediately by using your reaction make a follow up attack.

Assassin of Kings

Cat school witchers have never shied away from political intrigue or on occasion a little assassination.  You are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.

Whirling Death

You move, and strike faster than your enemies can even react. Once per turn you may use your feline agility reaction to roll an attack against all creatures in the area around you within a 10ft radius centered on you.

Fleet-Footed Killer

You are faster and deadlier than friends or foes alike. You gain an additional reaction and bonus action per turn.
