Battōsai (3.5e Monk Fighting Style)
From D&D Wiki
Battōsai[edit]
The Battōsai style is the mastery of Iaijutsu, also known as Battōjutsu, the art of drawing a blade. Battōsai monks are often members of a Samurai family, and are considered Samurai themselves, but they are resolved to use their Katana as well as Martial Arts for their combat. A Battōsai is rightly feared for his swift movements and telling blows.
1st-Level Skill Bonus: Iaijutsu Focus (detailed in Oriental Adventures).
1st-Level Feat: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Katana)
