Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh…it is morphing time!
Kabuki Warlord is an archetype for Gambler class.
Kabuki Proficiency
Kabuki Warlords are proficient in light blades, heavy blades, spears and polearms, and any weapon created by the Genji Reel.
In addition, the Kabuki Warlord’s BAB increases to +1 every level, and he has a D10 hit die.
This modifies weapon and armor proficiency, and replaces Lucky Cards.
Limit Break
Kabuki Warlords can only choose the Battle mode, and use the following unique limit break
Morphing Time! (Ex): The Kabuki Warlord changes form, growing extra weapon-wielding arms temporarily. As a full-round action, For every two stacks of Limit Break gauge expended, the Kabuki Warlord makes a full attack plus one additional attack using a weapon from Genji Reels, rolled for each attack beforehand. If 10 or more stacks are used, any occurrences of Excalipoor may be rerolled for any of the attacks.
This modifies Limit Break.
Genji Gears
Genji Gears function as Dressed To The Nines, except it applies only while wielding a weapon generated by the Genji Reel. In addition, for each piece of Genji Gear the Kabuki Warlord is wearing, he gains a bonus to max HP equal to ½ his Kabuki Warlord level (min 1). The first time each day he gains this boost, he also heals for that amount.
This modifies Dressed To The Nines.
The Genji Reel
The Kabuki Warlord gains access to a unique reel, the Genji Reel, at 1st level. At 10th level, they gain access to the Attack Reel, and at 15th level, they gain access to the Magic Reel. They do not get access to any other Reel. Weapons drawn from the Genji reel last a number of rounds equal to the Kabuki Warlord’s Charisma modifier + 1, and at 4th and every 4 levels, the weapon gains a +1 enchantment to it, to a max of +5 at level 20. When using the Genji Reel, the Kabuki Warlord may also full attack on the same turn. The Kabuki Warlord may take Weapon Focus (Genji Weapons) to apply to anything that comes from the Genji Reel.
