Mystic of Vanya
by George HrabovskyAs a normal mystic except that the martial art is called the "Gentle Wind Style". They use a sword as the art has the following chart:
Gentle Wind

| Gentle Wind | BC | ---- | ---- | Basic skill with sword |
| SK | ---- | ---- | Skilled with sword | |
| [P=H] SM | EX | ---- | ---- | Expert with sword |
| MS | ---- | ---- | Master with sword | |
| 1H SH | GM | ---- | ---- | Grand Master with sword |
There are additional manoeuvres which can be purchased with skill slots. These manoeuvres must be purchased in order.
1) Feint: this is an attack designed to draw the opponent out, the opponent's next attack is +2 to hit you; your next attack is a +4 to hit and damage
2) Blinding Cut: this attack causes blood to flow into the target's eyes, all attacks made by the target are at -5 to hit for a full minute (the time it takes to wipe the blood away).
3) Bleeding Cut: this attack causes the wound to bleed one hit point per round until healed or death.
4) Quick Strike: this attack is at -4 to hit, if successful the attack is so swift that there is no chance for a deflect or parry
5) Blindfighting: this is an Int based skill allowing the character to fight in darkness or to fight invisible foes without detriment.
6) Arterial Cut: this attack causes the target to lose a d3 hit points per round.
7) The Gentle Wind: this is a Dex based manoeuvre allowing the character to move at full speed and strike every opponent within arm's reach of the path.
