SPECIAL ABILITIES
--------------------
Weapon and Armor Proficiency A student of Wudang is proficient with all simple weapons and all swords.

Martial Artist The student of Wudang is a trained martial artist. She gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A martial artist's attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a martial artist may make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a martial artist striking unarmed. A martial artist may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually a martial artist's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling. A martial artist's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
A martial artist’s unarmed damage also progresses as a monk’s (1d6 at 1st level, 1d8 at 4th level, 1d10 at 8th level, 2d6 at 12th level, 2d8 at 16th level, and 2d10 at 20th level).
A martial artist has a Qi Pool equal to half her character level + her Wisdom modifier. A martial artist can spend 1 Qi to increase her base speed by 20 feet for one round, or give herself a +4 dodge bonus to AC for one round. By learning Neijing she may expand the range of options for spending Qi.

AC Bonus When unarmored and unencumbered, the student of Wudang adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC and her CMD. In addition, a student of Wudang gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four Martial Artist levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the martial artist is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.

Style The student of Wudang practices at least one Style of Kung Fu, and may learn many over the course of their career. At first level, the student of Wudang may choose one Style from the list below. When fighting using one of these Styles the student of Wudang gains a style bonus to certain checks, as outlined in the description of the Style.
A character can only benefit from the effects of a single Style of Kung Fu at once.
Switching Styles is a swift action. A character cannot benefit from the effects of a Style when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.
Learning New Styles: A martial artist may learn new styles of Kung Fu by training under a master, finding a rare manual of kung fu, or by many more esoteric means. Once a player has secured the means to learn a new style (pending GM approval), they must practice this style for three months minus one week for every Martial Artist level they possess (to a minimum of 3 days). This training does not require the martial artist’s exclusive attention, but they must set aside at least 4 hours each day to train. Once the training period has elapsed the martial artist learns the new Style of Kung Fu and can use it normally. Particularly skilled masters or well-written manuals may further reduce this time, at the GM’s discretion.
--Styles Known--
Eight Trigrams Soaring Dragon Palm A character using this style adds a +1 style bonus to attack rolls when fighting unarmed.
Soft Snow Swordstyle A character using this style may make one additional attack as part of a full attack action, taking a –2 penalty on all of her attack rolls, as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat. All attacks made as part of the full attack action must be made with a one-handed sword.

Neijing
Soft Palm (1 Qi) As an immediate action, the martial artist can spend 1 Qi to attempt a reposition or trip combat maneuver against a creature that the martial artist threatens and that attacks him. If the combat maneuver is successful, the attacker is sickened for 1 round (Reflex DC 17), plus one additional round at 4th and for every four levels afterward (to a maximum of 6 rounds at 20th level). The martial artist gains a +2 bonus on the reposition or trip combat maneuver check and the save DC for redirection increases by 2 if the attacker is using Power Attack or is charging when attacking him. The benefit increases to a +4 bonus and an increase of the saving throw by 4 if both apply.
Redirect Force (1 Qi) By spending 1 Qi as a free action, the martial artist can cause one of her attacks of opportunity to render a struck creature flat-footed until the end of the martial artist's next turn (Reflex DC 17). This Qi is spend after the attack is successful but before damage is rolled.
Mirror Image (1 Qi) As per the spell.

Qinggong 3 The martial artist gains 40 ft. Slow Fall and does not require a surface to use for it, increases the bonus to move by spending a Qi point to +30 ft., can move across any surface as long as she ends her move on solid ground, and adds 1/2 her Wudang level to Acrobatic checks.

Dueling Mastery A swordlord gains Dueling Mastery as a bonus feat.

Deft Strike (Ex) A swordlord can add his Dexterity bonus (if any) on damage rolls made with a dueling sword instead of his Strength bonus. This bonus on damage rolls applies whether the swordlord is wielding a dueling sword one-handed or two-handed, though the swordlord does not apply 1-1/2 times his Dexterity bonus on damage rolls while fighting two-handed. A swordlord cannot use this ability if he is wielding a shield or an off-hand weapon, including armor spikes, unarmed strikes, or natural weapons.

--------------------
CHARACTER TRAITS
--------------------
Blade of Mercy You know that within the heart of even the most hateful and cruel living creature exists a sliver of shame and hope for redemption. You have trained long on martial techniques to use bladed weapons not to kill, but to subdue. When striking to inflict nonlethal damage with any slashing weapon, you do not take the normal –4 penalty on your attack roll, and gain a +1 trait bonus to any nonlethal damage you inflict with a slashing weapon.
Chip on the Shoulder When someone pushes you, you push back. Whenever a creature fails an Intimidate check against you, you gain a +2 trait bonus on your next Intimidate check against that creature. Intimidate becomes a class skill for you.
