'''{{Anchor|Weapon Focus}}:''' At first level, the tenken chooses a one-handed melee weapon which deals slashing damage; he gains [[SRD:Weapon Focus|Weapon Focus]] with that weapon.
'''{{Anchor|Shukuchi}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' When unarmored or in light armor, a tenken may strike with the shukuchi—-a flurry of ridiculously fast strikes—at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, he may make one extra attack in a full attack at his highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that turn. The resulting modified base attack bonuses are shown in the Shukuchi Attack Bonus column on [[#Table: The Grimoire Tenken|Table: The Grimoire Tenken]]. When a tenken reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to –1, and at 9th level it disappears. The technique can only be used when he is wielding a single melee [[SRD:Slashing Weapon|slashing weapon]], and may only be used with a that primary weapon, and not in conjunction with [[SRD:Two-Weapon_Fighting|two-weapon fighting]] or anything similar (such as [[SRD:Multiweapon_Fighting|multiweapon fighting]]) or when made in conjunction with attacks that are considered natural attacks (including those that are also considered manufactured weapons, such as the [[SRD:Monk|monk's]] [[SRD:Monk#Unarmed_Strike|unarmed strike]]).
The tenken's ability to use the shukuchi improves at 11th level. In addition to the standard extra attack he receives, he also gains another extra attack at his highest base attack bonus.
