Iaijutsu is the martial art of drawing a weapon, almost always a katana and attacking with it in the same fluid motion. It is the foundation of some forms of dueling, and its masters are feared and respected throughout the world.

Alignment: Any Lawful
Base Attack Bonus: +6

*Note, since there is no way to properly implement Iaijutsu Duels, to make the class more inline with the NWN game engine the Strike with No Thought feat is replaced with the Iaijutsu Attack at level 5, and Strike from the Void is moved to 10th level. Damage granted from the Iaijutsu Focus is inline with those given in the source book from which the class came.
