"BATTOU JUTSU" BATOU JUTSU

Class: Samurai
Cost: 10 stamina per bonus attack (minus 1 for every 5 ranks)

This skill is a combative quick-draw sword technique.  It will increase your
initiative roll so that you are more likely to swing first in combat rounds.

Additionally, when anything tries to attack you, you'll have a chance to
swing at them first.  You will need to be in defensive combat stance for this
to work.

Further, at rank 2 and above, when YOU attack someone with a normal melee
swing, you'll have a chance to get extra attacks based on your rank.

Obscurely, it will also increase chances for the "Samurai Fury" weapon power
to trigger during combat.

All of the above improve with higher skill ranks.

Usage:  None - this skill is automatic.
