This stance is the result of intense training that signifies utmost mastery in the art of quick draw. This stance allows for a series of lightning quick slashes designed to pierce through the opponent's guard and kill without them realizing. To initiate a Battoujutsu attack sequence, the user's weapon must be sheathed. It is then removed from its sheath to perform the first attack, on which the user deals an additional die of damage. The remaining attacks are then performed normally, and the user may return the weapon to its sheath after the attack. It should be noted that on all attacks made using this stance, needs both hands (one holding the sheath, the other holding the sword), cannot fight with standard two-weapon fighting, and cannot hold his weapon with both hands, but the user's Defense increases by 1.
Material Focus: A piercing or slashing weapon with a solid sheath that is no larger than the user's size category, and no smaller than two size categories below the user, or a katana.
