Draft: Nanashi Mura Metsuke Advanced Discipline

Tonight, the Nanshi Mura Metsuke! An Advanced Discipline that amps up the crimefighting bushi who takes on hordes of henchmen to slice his way to the top dog, protecting the underdog in the process. Samurai tend to hate him, criminals fear him, and the commoners love him.

Yes, the ronin of Nanashi Mura take time to train the occasional Batman.

Enjoy.
