The Shirai Ryu are a long though extinct clan of assassins who are trained from birth to defend the clan's honor and the world itself. Those select few who join arms in the Shirai Ryu endure intense training, both physical and mental strengths. The Shirai Ryu live for Kombat and thrive the best in that environment.

Though deadly on their own, some of the Shirai Ryu are able to tap into the power fo the hellspawns of the Netherrealm.

Hellspawn’s Chain

At 3rd level you gain proficiency in Rope Dart weapons, they are Light, Finesse weapons and are considered Monk Weapons and gain the same bonuses from the Martial Arts skill. You also gain proficiency in two of the following skills. (Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, or Stealth).

 Also at 3rd level you are able to craft Rope Dart weapons and utilize their true purpose. After hitting an attack with a Rope Dart you can attempt to pull the target closer to you. The target must make a Strength save vs your Ki DC or be pulled the full distance of the attack on fail. If target succeeds, the Rope Dart is pulled back to you.

Additionally, you can spend 1 Ki point to alter your attack. In a 5ft. radius around yourself, you can deal damage, as if a standard attack, with the Rope Dart to every creature in range.
