Intense training of the body, the senses, and the mind are requisite steps on the path to becoming a true master swordsman. While such training will enable feats of speed, agility, and mental acuity that are breathtaking in their own right, the practise of Shindo is defined by the accrual and spectacular unleashing of Shin energy. The surging flow and heady rhythm of battle is known to all warriors, but students of Shindo learn to enter the Shin trance, greatly enhancing their sensitivity to its power. | Intense training of the body, the senses, and the mind are requisite steps on the path to becoming a true master swordsman. While such training will enable feats of speed, agility, and mental acuity that are breathtaking in their own right, the practise of Shindo is defined by the accrual and spectacular unleashing of Shin energy. The surging flow and heady rhythm of battle is known to all warriors, but students of Shindo learn to enter the Shin trance, greatly enhancing their sensitivity to its power. Many advanced TwoArts and Striking abilities require Shin energy to perform. Their use will not be possible without first learning the ShinTrance ability. | ||
The skill of '''Shindo''' is available to members of the [[Blademaster]] [[class]], along with [[TwoArts]] and [[Striking]]. | |||

|detail=By enhancing your battle instincts with shin energy, they can become asclose to perfect as a mortal warrior can aspire to. Though this is of little benefit when meeting foes in single combat, when facing armies all but your primary adversary(*) shall find that your sense of danger is so profound that any attacks they direct against your person may be evaded outright(**).<p>* The first person to hit you will never miss. This resets every 5 seconds if they have not hit in that time.</p><p>** All subsequent single target attacks from other adventurers have a chance to miss you outright. This does not work against ranged abilities, and you must be relatively unhindered for it to work.</p> | |||
