So This is my first martial discipline to be made, so any advice on how to improve it is welcome. It was inspired by Tenshi Hinnanawi from Touhou, and the Earthcrafters from Codex Alera.
So without further ado, I give you the
Enlightened Blade
Introduction: There are some whose devotion wills them to continue on and keep fighting for their allies. Some get their power through the earth,
while others yet are empowered by their unbreakable mind. One day, a young traveler of the ninefold path witnessed a battle between three warriors,
each specializing in one of those three styles. The fight moved him, and he began to meditate on what it truly meant. Through years of meditation
the man had become enlightened on the way of the nine, and discovered a method to blend the discipline of the Diamond Mind,
The power of Stone Dragon, and the resiliency of the Devoted Spirits, and the mystic nature of the Setting Sun into one, Enlightened Stance.
Powerful Practitioners of the stance are nigh indestructible, capable of wielding their immense strength in ways to tear the land asunder,
absorb its power, and harden their bodies and mind, and see through any deception of their opponents, striking them at their true selves.
However the concentration it takes to do so forces all but the most masterful of it to deaden their reactions.
Class: Any Martial Adept may learn the Enlightened Blade style, by forgoing access to Any of Stone Dragon, Devoted spirit, or Diamond Mind.
