Ken Tae Kido
By Hoshiro Sunn
Entrance Requirements: No attribute or alignment restrictions.
Skill Cost: 30 years (20 years as a secondary martial art style).

A difficult concept to master. To master it is to truly master one's body and soul, connecting them. This is a relatively aggressive style. Once full training is completed, allows the master to have 3-5 full attacks per Melee. Critical hits on 17-20 and deathblow to natural 20. It's very hard to miss with this style because it your attacks are very centered and focused. And from the propensity for easy criticals and deathblows, it is indeed extraordinarily powerful. The Master is also allowed one automatic parry per melee. There are no specific attacks associated. An attack is an attack, no frilly nonsense or flashy stylepoints added.

Why Study Ken Tae Kido?
