— Swordsman

The Swordsman is a unit of the Serpent Clan.

Overview

A wise Serpent daimyo knows that ferocity and cunning are quickest to grow in the downtrodden and naturally violent. Accordingly, most of their Swordsmen are recruited from the loudest, most arrogant bullies their taverns can offer.

Their experience in chaotic alehouse brawls lends them several talents, including a useful knack for dodging flying objects while running. Peasants who injure noblemen in such brawls are offered the "blade's choice:" take up the sword in the noble's service, or die by his sword at dawn.

Battle Gear

	Glass Sword	Stamina: No Cost but stamina is depleted and does not regenerate.		Mugging	Stamina: 65%
Requirements: Metal Shop			Requirements: Thieves' Guild
The Metal Shop employs arcane techniques that fuse glass with steel, forging these exquisitely deadly blades. They inevitably shatter on impact, but a single brutal stroke may slice a man's torso in half.			Unsurprisingly, many Swordsmen have friends in the Thieves' Guild. From them, they learn to snatch precious belongings from their enemies in the heat of combat.
