SPECIAL ABILITIES
Flurry of Blows Sajan can make a flurry of blows as a full attack. He
can make one additional attack, and takes a –2 penalty on all his
attacks during this round. These attacks can be any combination
of unarmed strikes and attacks with monk special weapons. Sajan
uses his monk level as his base attack bonus for these attacks.
Stunning Fist Once per day before making an attack roll with an
unarmed strike, Sajan can use this feat. If a foe is damaged
by the attack, it takes damage as normal and must attempt a
Fortitude save (DC 11). If it fails, it’s stunned for 1 round (it drops
what it holds, can’t take actions, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC,
and takes a –2 penalty to AC).
Combat Reflexes Sajan may make up to two attacks of opportunity
in a round, and may make attacks of opportunity even when he
is flat-footed.
Improved Unarmed Strike Sajan’s unarmed strikes don’t provoke
attacks of opportunity, and can deal lethal or nonlethal damage
as he chooses.
Mobility Sajan gets a +4 dodge bonus to AC against attacks of
opportunity caused by his movement.
Born into the padaprajna caste of warriors in beautiful Vudra, Sajan
Gadadvara and his twin sister Sajni learned to hold a temple sword
before they could walk. Strict padaprajna discipline forged a tight
bond between the twins, who spent even their infrequent times of
rest together, practicing the latest martial techniques taught to them.
On their twelfth birthday, the twins were forcefully separated: Sajan
went to live with the fighting men of the ghana padaprajna, while
Sajni joined the battling women of the sastra padaprajna. Despite
their separation, the twins continued to meet when they could,
sparring and joking as they had in childhood.
As the insightful narrative of the Vigrahin Patitraka states, “A
warrior’s life is to war.” Thus it was that Sajan’s lord embroiled himself
in a conf lict with a neighbor. Most of the army fielded by Sajan’s
lord consisted of conscripts wielding tools of their trades, while the
valuable padaprajna watched in reserve. The warriors deduced that
they stood on the losing side, but they were duty-bound to fight to the
death when instructed. Instead, their lord stole from them the glory
of battle-death when he sued for peace after his conscripts f led the
field. As part of his surrender, the lord gave over half of his sastra
padapranja—including young Sajni.
Sajan vowed to be reunited with his sister, and slipped
stealthily into the city of Sumadhadra just in time to see his sister
pass out through the gates. He soon discovered that the traded sastra
padapranja were loaded onto ships bound for distant Jalmeray.
When he reached Jalmeray’s docks. Sajan learned that his sister
had signed on as a guard aboard a trading ship bound for a place
called Absalom.
The desperate young padapranja gained passage to Absalom and,
upon arrival, stared in wonder at the city’s size and splendor. It seemed
to him that the strange western barbarians he found himself among
could be capable of creating a place so grand. By the time he found his
bearings, he found himself without leads, for the sheer size of the city
that so impressed him also made finding his sister nearly impossible.
Sajan knows he cannot return to Vudra, for the padapranja there
would execute him as a deserter. He cares not for his home country,
however, and continues to seek out any clue that might point him
toward his sister.
