Grimoire Tenken
An alternative to the tenken which focuses even more on speed and special techniques.
Class: Tenken
Level: 1st
Replaces: If you select this class feature, you lose the Superior Finesse ability at first level, the Acrobatics ability at first level and all its improvements, the bonus feats gained at levels 9, 13, and 17, and the BAB of the tenken is reduced to that of a Rogue.
Benefit: You gain the following abilities and feats:
Weapon Focus: At first level, the tenken chooses a one-handed melee weapon which deals slashing damage; you gain Weapon Focus with that weapon.
Piercing Wind (Ex): Whenever the tenken chooses to use Shukuchi, he gains +1d8 damage at first level. This damage increases by 1d8 at every odd level (to 2d8 at level 3, 3d8 at level 5, 4d8 at level 7, and so on).
Hummingbird Pierces the Flower (Ex): The tenken's strikes become far more accurate than those of any of his peers as he learns to hit the smallest of targets with his fastest flurry of blows. At fourth level, when a tenken uses Shukuchi, he gains a +1 competence bonus to all attacks made that round. This bonus increases by one at every four levels afterwards to a maximum of +5 at level 20.
Shunpo (Su): The tenken's speed quickly reaches incredibly heights, allowing him to move from place to place in only the blink of an eye, confusing his enemies as he reaches places he isn't expected to be. At fourth level, the Tenken may use Dimension Slide once per encounter, and gains one more use of this ability every three levels hence (twice at 7th level, thrice at 11th level, and so on). His effective manifester level for the use of this ability is equal to his class level.
Iaido (Ex): Swiftness is what the tenken is all about; swiftness of movement, swiftness of body, swiftness of the mind--and yes, even swiftness of blade. At fifth level whenever the Tenken draws the weapon with which he has Weapon Focus, he made add his Dexterity modifier to damage on the first attack made with that weapon. At level 15 this ability improves, allowing him to add the damage on all attacks made in that round.
Thrash of the Willow Tree (Ex): As he gains mastery over the art of quickness, the Tenken learns to use his most powerful attacks even when moving at incredible speeds. At level 7, the tenken gains the ability to use Shukuchi even when making circumstances would force him to make a single attack, such as on a charge, during a spring attack, or attacking after movement. He gains all the bonuses and penalties that Shukuchi would entail when making the attack, including extra damage, extra attacks, and any penalties to attack he might be forced to take due to Shukuchi.
Bonus Feats: At level 9, 13, and 17, the Tenken gains a single Figher bonus feat which he qualifies for.
