Master of Nine

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Some savants of the Nine Disciplines believe that none of the paths are complete, true disciplines in and of themselves. They believe that the nine disciplines are more appropriately termed the Nine Steps, each a single portion of a whole, true Way. These few masters strive to learn the secrets of each path, and in doing some become the masters of nine, using a martial style that combines all of the techniques of the Temple of Nine Swords. Such martial sages are fluid and unpredictable martial artists, capable of switching between styles and techniques to suit each situation.
