Chakian Combat Arts

The Chakain people developed their own forms of martial arts, one focusing on Style, the other Composure. Style is a brutal onslaught of power and damage, it’s the emotional equivalent of rage. Composure is the razor’s edge of control, it is the smooth dance of just barely side stepping an attack and waiting for the opportunity to the perfect strike.
Inspired Combo: Spend an inspiration to gain your level worth of Combo points.
Combo Limit: You can only spend Combo points on Combo abilities that grant extra attacks once per turn.

You must pick one of the two Arts: Style or Composure.
