Sōhei

Sōhei study the art of battle and history of war. Between battles, they are often found meditating on themselves and reflecting on their own techniques or possible missteps. Using their own skill and understanding of historic techniques, they masterfully maneuver around the battlefield, dodging blows, and striking hard.
