At 10th level she may cast [https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/bladed-dash/ ''greater bladed dash''] instead, or use her [https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/bladed-dash/ ''bladed dash''] spell-like ability as a swift action. Doing so consumes two uses of the spell-like ability.
'''{{Anchor|Special Challenge}} {{Ex}}:''' At 6th level, the bushi can issue special challenges. She gains access to ''Daunting Challenge'', ''Last Stand '' and ''Test of Mettle''. These special challenges use one the bushi’s challenge per day and are considered to be an active challenge, and thus no more challenge can be issued while they are active.
''{{Anchor|Daunting Challenge}}:'' The bushi can issue this special challenge as a move action. In addition to the normal effect of challenge, the foe must make a [[Will]] save with a DC of 10 + ½ class level + the bushi’s [[Charisma]] modifier or become [[At Bay (3.5e Condition)|At Bay]] from the bushi. If the bushi successfully strikes the target of her challenge, it become [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for 1 round.
'''{{Anchor|Final Blow}} {{Ex}}:''' At 14th level, the bushi is able to expend an active challenge as a free action while striking the target of the challenge. The strike deals an additional d6 of damage per class level instead of 1 per class level. If the attack brings down her opponent she counts as having defeated the target of her challenge twice. If the attack misses or does not bring down her opponent, the challenge immediately ends.
'''{{Anchor|Undying Persistence}} {{Ex}}:''' At 17th level, whenever a bushi uses her ''last stand or test of mettle '' special challenge she halves damage from physical attacks during its duration.
'''{{Anchor|Master Duelist}} {{Ex}}:''' Once per round, when a 18th level bushi threatens a critical hit against the target of her challenge she may automatically confirm it.
