Samurai

Samurai
(SPECIAL BASE CLASS)
Samurai are professional warriors, members of the noble class, trained in the art of warfare. Born into a society which values unswerving loyalty and honour above all else, the Samurai is trained from childhood in a value system that influences every area of life.
A disgraced or masterless Samurai cut loose from this all-pervading value system is no longer considered a Samurai, but rather a common mercenary fighter, a Ronin with no honour and no standing in society.
