Prerequisite: Requires a Dexterity score of 15 or higher
 

You have chosen to focus speed above all else, this aspect is reflected in your fighting style.

  • You may add your Proficiency Bonus to your Initiative checks.
  • You gain a unique attack option called a Iaijutsu, granting you the following benefits:
    • If you attack a creature in the same turn that you draw a melee weapon, your first attack may either gain advantage on the attack roll or add half your Initiative modifier, rounded up, to the damage roll,
      • A Iaijutsu attack requires a melee weapon with the light, finesse, or versatile property, and two free hands to perform the attack.
      • You must have a higher initiative than the creature you are attacking to perform an Iaijutsu attack.
    • If the conditions for a Iaijutsu are met, while your weapon is sheathed, other creatures that you are aware of provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.
      • You may draw your weapon as part of this attack, but do not gain addition benefits of a Quick-draw.
    • As part of the final attack on your turn, or after a Quick-draw opportunity attack, you may choose to sheathe that weapon immediately after attacking.
